I'm excited to see someone wanting to use this! I use a git ref right now. With zero stars, it isn't really out there. How did you discover it?

I don't recall exactly now. I was searching for replacements for Nuxt SEO since I'm migrating from Nuxt to Astro. I think it came up in Google. I hope you list it on NPM so it's usable in ordinary projects (assuming it's in usable state).

Local/offline link checking is decent, http checking isn't fully optimal. Ohdear.app is honestly better.

I'm just looking for something to run during the build process to verify internal links like Nuxt SEO. Ohdear.app isn't designed to work during a build and is pricey.

If you're not going to put this on npm then you should probably remove the instruction in the README to install it via npm.

Oh I found it. ChatGPT recommended you!

Is there a product to use with Astro that can verify internal links like Nuxt SEO does?
ChatGPT said:
Yes, there are tools available for Astro that can verify internal links, similar to Nuxt SEO. One such tool is the "astro-broken-link-checker," an Astro integration that checks for broken links during the static build process. It validates all links in your HTML pages, logging any broken links to the console and a log file. To use it, install the package and add it to your Astro configuration file.

Another option is the "starlight-links-validator," a Starlight plugin that validates internal links in Markdown and MDX files. It checks links to other pages and hashes, ignoring external links, and runs during the production build.

These tools can help ensure the integrity of internal links in your Astro project.
