This looks great! Are there plans to spin up a plugin for Obsidian and similar apps?

I'm not familiar with Obsidian, I'll take a look.

One thing I should mention, we have another tool which makes it easy to embed a spreadsheet in another app via an IFRAME:

The benefit of using the above is that Sure Sheet URL will always load the "same" spreadsheet. Edits aren't automatically saved, unlike (say) a Google Sheet.

I use advanced tables[0] and Excel to markdown tables[1] plugins - they make working with tables in Obsidian a bit easier.

That said, I think tables are markdown's Achilles heel - anything involving multi-line content starts to make things complicated.
