I made a plugin that adds a simple popup with statistics about your vault

All the other "vault statistics" plugins are too complicated for my taste, so I made this plugin with a minimalist interface and backend.

I put a lot of effort into optimizing the algorithms for computing the statistics. If you have a really big vault I would love to hear how well the plugin handles it :)

Cryptomnesia is when a forgotten memory returns without it being recognized as such. A person may falsely recall generating a thought, an idea, a tune, a name, or a joke; they are not deliberately engaging in plagiarism, but are experiencing a memory as if it were a new inspiration.
