-### Enhanced Notebook Experience
-
-Deepnote notebooks extend traditional Jupyter notebooks with powerful data science features:
-
-- **🔢 Multiple Block Types** - Work with Python code, SQL queries, Markdown documentation, and specialized data science blocks
-- **🔄 Seamless Language Switching** - Switch between Python and SQL within the same notebook without context switching
-- **🗄️ Database Integrations** - Connect directly to PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, and other data sources with secure credential management
-- **⚡ Init Notebooks** - Automatically run initialization code (dependencies, environment setup) before notebook execution
-- **📦 Automatic Requirements** - Generate `requirements.txt` from your project settings for reproducible environments
-- **🎨 Rich Outputs** - View data visualizations, tables, and interactive outputs directly in VS Code
-- **🔐 Secure Credential Storage** - Safely store and manage database credentials using VS Code's encrypted SecretStorage API
-
-### Jupyter Kernel Support
-
-Built on top of robust Jupyter infrastructure:
-
-- **🐍 Python Kernel** - Full Python support with IPython features
-- **🔌 Custom Deepnote Kernel** - Enhanced kernel with Deepnote-specific features and integrations
-- **📊 Interactive Debugging** - Debug notebooks cell-by-cell with VS Code's debugger
-- **🔄 Kernel Management** - Easy kernel selection, restart, and interrupt capabilities
-
-### Project Management
-
-- **📁 Project Explorer** - Browse and manage Deepnote projects directly from VS Code's sidebar
-- **📓 Multi-Notebook Support** - Work with multiple notebooks from the same project
-- **🔍 Quick Navigation** - Jump between notebooks and files with command palette integration
-- **♻️ Auto-Refresh** - Automatic detection of project file changes
