A native Markdown / Obsidian Vault Reader plugin could be a killer feature for Supernote

One of my biggest use cases for an e-ink device is not just writing notes, but reviewing and studying knowledge I've already accumulated over time.

Right now, I sideload Obsidian on my Supernote, but honestly the experience is pretty rough:

slow UI

heavy scrolling

non e-ink-friendly interactions

too many desktop-oriented features

battery/performance overhea

And the thing is… I don't actually need the full Obsidian experience on Supernote. What I really want is something much simpler and more aligned with e-ink strengths:

read Markdown notes comfortably

browse an Obsidian vault

follow [[wikilinks]]

search notes quickly

maybe see simple backlinks/tags

open attached PDFs

review knowledge in distraction-free mode

So instead of trying to make the full Android Obsidian app run well through sideloading, maybe the new plugin system opens the door to something better: a lightweight native Markdown / vault reader plugin built specifically for Supernote.

Basically an “Obsidian-lite” optimized for reading and review rather than heavy editing. I feel this would fit the philosophy of Supernote much better than running full desktop-style apps on e-ink hardware.

Curious if other people would use something like this, and whether the current plugin APIs would make it feasible.
