A writing workflow for Obsidian. Manage projects, chapters (optional), scenes, and versioned drafts in plain markdown, with flexible folder structure and native compatibility with Obsidian Bases.

Draft Bench is inspired by Longform, with added emphasis on per-scene and per-chapter draft history as first-class files, rich metadata via frontmatter, and a compile system that requires no JavaScript knowledge.
