I looooooove alex.js so super happy to see you spreading the word! I try to integrate the linter for any documentation or technical blogs I work on 😍

Thanks! It's fairyfloss-ified 😁

I like the idea of integrating with the linter but I had a good number of what I think are "false positives" and I'm not sure about having that noise in the linter output. Do you ignore any words in your config?

Yeah definitely have it configured a bit. So for my company's docs, we have the profanitySureness set to 1 instead of the default 0 and that eliminated a lot of the false positives for us (like execute or failed because we're a testing platform so we use those terms a lot). Then we add allows as they pop up - for example, I think we have the hostesses-hosts rule in there because we talk about network hosts.

That makes sense - thanks for sharing!
