Background and pain
The pain
Cross-platform vaults break on Windows with dead links, duplicates and sync conflicts.
A buildable angle
The opening
A naming-convention linter and bulk fixer for shared knowledge bases.
How to validate it
- Read the whole thread and note the recurring scenarios — repetition is the density of the need.
- Search existing tools around "cross-platform / filenames" and check which single step they actually cover.
- Put up a one-line landing page, share it back to Obsidian Forum, and see whether anyone asks about pricing.
