This is the BETA version of Front Matter. If you were looking for the main version, check it out at frontmatter.codes
Front Matter BETA is an essential Visual Studio Code extension that simplifies working and managing your markdown articles. We created the extension to support many static-site generators like Hugo, Jekyll, Hexo, NextJs, Gatsby, and more.
The extension brings Content Management System (CMS) capabilities straight within Visual Studio Code. For example, you can keep a list of the used tags, categories, create content, and so much more.
Our main extension features are:
- Page dashboard where you can get an overview of all your markdown pages. You can use it to search, filter, sort your contents.
- Site preview within Visual Studio Code
- SEO checks for title, description, and keywords
- Support for custom actions/scripts
- and many more
If you see something missing in your article creation flow, please feel free to reach out.
