I haven’t used this, just watched the video and it seems like it could be pretty helpful.

Wow! This is great! I will be installing this next week for sure, especially since Forestry is going away. I wonder, have you used it yet? I have a few one-to-many elements in my Front Matter.

Most of my posts are for my podcast, so my front matter can have, say a guest’s name and then guests can have links to their books and social media. I can also have multiple guests with multiple links, so I have a fairly advanced YML front matter for my posts, which I include below as an example.

Do you know off the top of your head if Front Matter can do that? If not, I will play with it to see.

no idea- I have not used it, just came across the video and thought it was interesting.

I have no idea how it was doing some of it - like the preview of posts.

Well thank you for sharing. I’m going to take some time next week to learn it!
