-Docs: https://coddingtonbear.github.io/obsidian-local-rest-api/
+See our interactive docs: https://coddingtonbear.github.io/obsidian-local-rest-api/
+
+Have you ever needed to automate interacting with your notes?  This plugin gives Obsidian a REST API you can interact with your notes from other tools so you can automate what you need to automate.
+
+This plugin provides a secure HTTPS interface gated behind api key authentication that allows you to:
+
+- Read, create, update or delete existing notes.  There's even a `PATCH` HTTP method for inserting content into your section.
+- List notes stored in your vault.
+- Create and fetch periodic notes.
+- Execute commands and list what commands are available.
+
+Hopefully you find this as useful as I do!
