Liked the article, thanks for sharing. Is there a resource for a generic list of all the schemas listed at https://schemastore.org so I don't have to populate them all myself, though?

Hi @averyfreeman,
Thanks, glad you liked it!
I've noticed a trend recently where many newer tools come with configuration files that use a JSON-schema automatically, no user intervention needed.
As for a way to automatically link the schemas listed on schemastore.org to a .json file in your editor, I don't know. Maybe the folks in the official JSON-schema slack chat know more.

Sounds good, I'll track them down. Thanks
