MediaNote: a note-taking app inside VS code

Hi guys, I used claude to write a vscode extension: MediaNote.

It is a note-taking app, built on top of vscode's markdown module.

The copy-pasting of images/videos/audios is more organized in MediaNote than in the built-in markdown.

And with the custom font for preview, you can write professional-looking pages.

A note-taking app living inside VS Code is a smart bet on not making people context-switch, the best dev tools meet you where you already are instead of asking you to open another tab. The risk with in-editor apps is fighting the host's UX conventions, the editor is a powerful container but a webview bolted in feels foreign fast; staying native to the editor's patterns is what keeps it part of the workflow. I think about that same meet-them-where-they-are principle with Moonshift. What pushed you to build it as an extension rather than standalone, capture speed, or keeping notes physically next to the code?
