100% secure CMS
Front Matter is a content management system that's built right into Visual Studio Code - no need for separate accounts or dependencies on websites or APIs.

我用hugo写技术博客，子目录多了，分类多了，tag多了，我当然可以通过一些命令操作快速看到全局，但是front matter cms更方便。
Front Matter CMS has made my transition to Hugo from Wordpress so much easier than I thought it was going to be! Thanks, Elio, for this delightful tool
Makes it so much easier to add and edit posts on my blog. Thanks!
great
I can't say enough good things about the Front Matter plugin for VS Code. As someone who manages a Jekyll site, I've found it to be an absolute game-changer. It's like having a super-smart assistant that knows exactly what I need when I'm working on my site. The way it handles front matter in Markdown files is just brilliant - it's made the whole process of adding and editing metadata so much smoother. I used to dread this part of content management, but now it's actually enjoyable. What really blows me away is how customizable this plugin is. It's like it was made just for me! I've been able to tweak it to fit my workflow perfectly, which has been a huge time-saver. And the fact that it works seamlessly in Cursor IDE, which is the VS Codium flavor I use, is the icing on the cake. If you're running a Jekyll site and haven't tried Front Matter yet, trust me, you're missing out. It's become such an essential part of my toolkit that I can't imagine working without it now.
算是免费里最强的吧，比一些收费的还好用。
