Enhancement: editor extensions that could help you

[estruyf]

Would it be an idea to add an editor extensions section to the site? I am not using any CMS, but use the Front Matter extension I created for VSCode: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eliostruyf.vscode-front-matter - You can see it as a light weight CMS within the VSCode editor, mainly focusses on pages.

Not to self promote, but also to learn what others use.

Ooh this extension looks useful!

Rather than adding a section to the site specifically to collect editor extensions, I think featuring a blog post about useful extensions might be better. My thinking is that adding a top level content type such as this to the site should only happen for abundant content of very high contextual importance to visitors. While helpful editor extensions are certainly of interest, I don't think I'd elevate that to a specific content type.

If you are interested in writing a post collecting a few of your suggested helpful extensions, I'd be delighted to link to it and feature it somewhere in the site @estruyf

Thanks @philhawksworth! I put the blog post on my todo list and come back here once it is written and published.

@philhawksworth coming back to it, what about adding it under the CMS section as it now became a real CMS. Instead of writing the article, I took time to further develop it. Feel free to check out Front Matter at: https://frontmatter.codes

Many more great features are coming out soon: https://beta.frontmatter.codes/updates/v5.0.0

Hi @philhawksworth, I went forward with it, and pushed a PR for adding Front Matter: #666

I also wrote an article about Front Matter which you can find here: https://www.eliostruyf.com/features-benefits-front-matter-cms/

@domitriusclark ended up on this issue. Do you happen to know if the PR can be merged?
