Use case
People managing notes in Obsidian who, while tidying notes containing Markdown tables, need to swap a table's rows and columns to get a transposed table left in place.
The public material states the old way was copying the table to an AI, asking it to transpose, and pasting back into Obsidian; manual cell rearrangement or a spreadsheet detour are similar alternatives.
The author states publicly that Markdown tables lack handy tools and transposing meant copying the table to an AI and pasting it back, a back-and-forth hassle; this is a trivial single-point burden, not a high-frequency must-have.
xOcto's call
Demand is evidenced
The trend is that AI compresses plugin development for individual builders to hours, letting solo developers fill the neglected corners of note-taking tools. The opening is in small, long-ignored chores such as tables, formulas and bulk cleanup inside Obsidian or Notion ecosystems, building users with a free plugin before considering paid add-ons or customization.
Reason to use it
Why users would choose it
Versus copying to an AI and pasting back, the plugin runs one command on the table at the cursor and replaces it in place, removing the copy-convert-paste-back steps; inferred that Obsidian users writing table-heavy notes would choose it when orientation is wrong, with no retention or repeat-use evidence yet.
