🚀 Why Lore Studio?
In the age of AI agents, Markdown is the new source code. Lore Studio is a visual editor for VS Code, empowering researchers, data scientists, and founders to build professional, high-performance portfolio websites without writing YAML by hand.
Don't let "vibe coding" tools lock you into fragile, black-box apps. Lore Studio combines the speed of a visual builder with the robustness of Hugo's static site generation — giving you a site that is fast, secure, and 100% yours.
✨ Features at a Glance
- 🔮 Future-Proof & AI Ready: Edit content in clean Markdown that is readable by both humans and LLMs.
- ⚡ No-Code Visual Editor: Drag, drop, and customize your site visually within VS Code.
- 🧠 The "Copilot" Experience: Smart configuration wizards and AI-assisted setup tailored to your niche.

- 📱 Modern & Fast: Perfect Lighthouse scores, mobile-first design, and dark mode out of the box.
🤝 Built for teams, labs, and startups
