๐Ÿ™ Exclusive Features for Sponsors

We're excited to announce a brand new feature exclusively available to sponsors of Front Matter CMS. With this update, we've added Front Matter AI to the project, which provides helpful suggestions for creating new content such as title suggestions and tag/category suggestions.

Important: To access the Front Matter AI feature, you will need to sign-in (backers & supports sign-in instructions) and set the frontMatter.sponsors.ai.enabled setting to true and you're good to go! We put it behind a setting to not automatically enable it and let you decide if you want to use it or not.

If you're not already a sponsor, now is a great time to consider supporting the project. By becoming a sponsor, you not only gain access to exclusive features like Front Matter AI, but also help to support the ongoing development and maintenance of the project.
