When we organize notes through connections, the [[notes/having more connections is better|more the better]]. Fleeting Notes is a separate network of notes outside of Obsidian. The goal of this plugin sync both these networks of notes into one! Below are step-by-step instructions on how to do this.

## Installation / Setup
1. Before you begin, you'll need to create an account in the [Fleeting Notes App](https://fleetingnotes.app/). You can do this by navigating to the settings and registering.
