Frequently asked questions
What does it check?
That the front matter is present and parses as a valid YAML key/value object, and it lists the field names.

No. It validates syntax and reports the fields; your platform defines which are required.
Is it private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
