When I showed my app to my friend and mentioned that it supports export in MD format, he immediately asked: “Markdown? What is it?”

I didn’t have time to explain back then, but the question stuck with me. So here’s my attempt to give a simple answer – and explain why Markdown became the format of choice for TrackLab.

The reason is quite simple. Before starting development, I tried to find out whether my theory would work or not. I used Obsidian for that purpose. Obsidian uses the MD format. That’s it.

That was for TL;DR lovers. Details below.
