Front Matter for a nice UX

I’m still learning how to work well with static site generators. Currently I would like to easily add images, perhpas integrate YouTube links, and have some more convenient UX.

After some research (i.e., reading the docs), I came across Front Matter. That’s a VS Code extension bascically creating a convenient user interface for managing markdown files and media.

See the attached screenshot. It’s this post being written.

So far, the extension (and the setup) looks quite nice. Things work easily for simple tasks. Unfortunately, though, it doesn’t work on mobile, I guess.

I’ll add updates with more experience.
