Missing YAML FrontMatter

[EGAMAGZ]

Recently, I forked (up-to-date repository) and cloned it to contribute to the documentation. After installing the dependencies and running the dev script with npm, on both my Windows and Linux devices, the Windows one throws an exception indicating "Missing YAML Frontmatter," while the Linux one works fine.

Windows:

Linux:

Node: v25.2.1 (both devices)

Mind logging out content for me & reporting what you see?

https://github.com/preactjs/preact-www/blob/master/src/lib/frontmatter.js#L12

The file does have frontmatter, so my only guess is that the file isn't being loaded correctly on Windows and you're getting something else.

Unfortunately I don't have a Windows device available so this isn't anything I can track down myself.

These are the logs that appear on the console

That's not what I asked, I asked if you could log out the content variable from the line I linked to. That'll show what's actually being processed.
