In plain words

Pg_sorted_heap is a modified version of PostgreSQL that stores data in physically sorted order and includes built-in vector search capabilities. It is designed for developers and database administrators working with PostgreSQL who need efficient vector similarity searches without external extensions.

Thanks to everyone who contributed and left feedback!
