Why it exists
Made for the work, not the demo.
Zellij Tab Notes places a small, durable note beside each tab so the reasoning behind a shell session does not disappear. A keyboard shortcut opens the note in $EDITOR, while a watcher keeps the tab bar marker synchronized.
Notes are ordinary Markdown files rather than data trapped inside a plugin. The project is delivered as one WASM plugin that Zellij can load directly from a release URL.
