-# solenodontelabs-codenotes README
+# Code Notes 📝
 
-This is the README for your extension "solenodontelabs-codenotes". After writing up a brief description, we recommend including the following sections.
+Code Notes is a VS Code extension that lets you take structured notes across your codebase and quickly jump between code and the notes that describe it.
 
-## Features
+It’s built for developers who:
 
-Describe specific features of your extension including screenshots of your extension in action. Image paths are relative to this README file.
+- Leave TODOs but never find them again
 
-For example if there is an image subfolder under your extension project workspace:
+- Keep random markdown files with scattered annotations
 
-\!\[feature X\]\(images/feature-x.png\)
+- Review large codebases and want organized context
 
-> Tip: Many popular extensions utilize animations. This is an excellent way to show off your extension! We recommend short, focused animations that are easy to follow.
+- Work in teams and want traceable, navigable notes
 
-## Requirements
+- Code Notes gives you a dedicated sidebar to manage notes, reference exact files + lines, preview content, and jump back into the code instantly.
 
-If you have any requirements or dependencies, add a section describing those and how to install and configure them.
