The opening
A task layer for Obsidian: board, calendar, recurrence, daily review — as a paid plugin.
How to validate it
- Read the whole thread and note the recurring scenarios — repetition is the density of the need.
- Search existing tools around "tasks / notes" and check which single step they actually cover.
