 Dendron is an **open-source, local-first, markdown-based, note-taking tool**. 
-Think of it as a **cache for everything that you care about** - if you've spent **more then five minutes** solving a problem, you should **never** spent any more time solving the same exact problem.

 ## How
 
 Dendron builds on top of the past five decades of programming languages and developer tooling. We apply the key lessons from software to the management of general knowledge. 
-We make managing general knowledge like managing code and your PKM like an IDE.

 ## Design Principles
 
-### Developer Centric

-Dendron aims to create a world class developer experience for managing knowledge.
+Dendron aims to create a world-class developer experience for managing knowledge.
 
 Our goal is to provide a tool with the efficiency of Vim, the extensibility of Emacs, and the approachability of VS Code.
 
 What this means:
 
-- dendron features are text centric and composables
-- dendron provides the lowest friction interface for working with your knowledge base
-- dendron optimizes for efficiency, speed, and keyboard focused ux
-- dendron comes with sane defaults and the ability to customize to your liking
-- dendron can be extended along any dimension

 ### Gradual Structure
 
 Dendron extends markdown with structural primitives to make it easier to manage at scale and tooling on top to work with this structure.
 
-Different knowledge bases require different levels of structure - a PKM used for keeping daily journals is different than a company wide knowledge base used by thousands of developers.
+Different knowledge bases require different levels of structure—a PKM used for keeping daily journals is different than a company wide knowledge base used by thousands of developers.
 
 Dendron works with any level of structure, meaning you can take free form notes when starting out and gradually layer on more structure as your knowledge base grows more.
 
 ### Flexible and Consistent
 
-Dendron is both flexible and consistent. It provides a consistent structure for all your notes and gives you the flexibility to change that structure.

-In Dendron, you can refactor notes and Dendron will make sure that your PKM is consistent throughout. This means that you have the best of both worlds: a basic structure for the organization but the flexibility to change it.
