northlint, for catching the links that fail after deployment
A small offline command-line checker for internal links, heading anchors, asset references, duplicate IDs, and case drift in generated documentation.
Field notes
The checker operates on generated HTML rather than source Markdown, allowing it to validate the paths produced by a documentation generator. Its documented scope includes extensionless routes, directory indexes, target-page fragments, asset references, duplicate slugified IDs, and case drift between development machines and case-sensitive servers. The sample output identifies source lines and reports three problems across 412 files in 0.8 seconds. It is presented as an offline static binary with no runtime dependencies.
