#11ty — Public Fediverse posts

Saw that @fontawesome now has official icons for #11ty and #Pixelfed in their brands pack! No need to continue using the svg icons I created in my custom kit.

Now if we can get #PeerTube added, I won't need any custom icons anymore.

About 2 years ago, I created Static.Quest as a #webring for static websites and a place to show off your static content. Sites could be built with any static site generator or by hand, and allowed you to join a unique circle of other static sites.

This weekend, I updated some core functions of the web ring process to eliminate the need for JavaScript on the client browser side, and brought this into the #11ty build process.

@[email protected] thanks for sharing this 💜
we'd also love to see more peopel experiment with it...
it is currently used in production by jacobin.de ( powered by #ghost ) and of course on our blog ( powered by #11ty ) eg bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...

Have now had a chance for a read. It's a really good set of docs! I like the topic navs left and in page sections + links on the right, makes it easy to get to what you need and gives structure when learning. When i have a bit more time I'm going to go through the tutorial and build out a site.

If you build sites with @silex and you use a data source (CMS), I have a question for you :))

I want Silex Desktop to build and show your site on your own machine, offline. Do you see what I mean? How do you want it?

Ideas welcome, here or in the issue: https://github.com/silexlabs/Silex/issues/1742

If I wanted to ship some #CSS in an #11ty / #BuildAwesome plugin, how would I do that?

Just include the CSS file in the published plugin, and document different patterns for including it, or should the plugin autoload the CSS somehow? 🤔

Anyone have an example?

#AskFedi #IndieDev

Some late-night HTML-ing and CSS-ing. Added some "about" text to my website: https://www.yevi.org and a test page here: https://www.yevi.org/test

#11ty #personalwebsite #html #css #staticsite

Ok, so I'm not shutting down my personal website anymore because we have such an awesome thing like @11ty. The docs look overwhelming at first, but then you just choose things you worked with in the past and just build.

I spent two hours and have this: https://www.yevi.org

Heavily inspired by @andycarolan's about page on his website.

Oh cool, my little photo blog/portfolio I made with #11ty was shared by the official account. 😊 https://neighborhood.11ty.dev/@11ty/117083048485565077

I see all those beautiful websites boosted by @11ty and want to do the same with https://www.yevi.org… Not a blog. Just links and some info, maybe.

Oodles of good resources here when you start out on #11ty https://11tybundle.dev

I've completely overhauled my IndieWeb 11ty Starter to make it simpler and more accessible for people getting into JAMstack and the IndieWeb.

It now uses #11ty / #Eleventy 3.x with a modular config structure, chota.css instead of Tailwind, and Pagefind for fast, serverless search.

The starter achieves Lighthouse scores of 100/100, with build times under one second. It includes IndieWeb microformats and webmentions by default, and near no client-side JavaScript.

My goal is to help more people write and publish on their own terms with technology they can actually understand.

@robb I hope you don't mind, but I found your post on your blogging workflow (https://rknight.me/blog/my-blogging-workflow/) really helpful, so I shamelessly stole your `cli/` scripts and adapted them to my much simpler needs.

Basically all I needed was the createPost script to stop my being a muppet and messing up the permalink on a post that is unexpectedly popular (of *course* it would be one of the few that becomes popular).

Anyway, I wanted to thank you for that article and the link to your config - it has made my life a lot easier (and hopefully less error-prone!)

What happens to our blogs when we die?

Does anyone want to read my dumb blog after I'm dead? Hell if I know, but I want to give my family the opportunity.

I'm sitting on 9 blog posts 29 new sites and 3 releases of content for the next issue of the 11ty Bundle blog/newsletter. I'll try to get it out this week. Moving has been consuming my time.

#11ty @11ty

Well, I fixed it by going in a different direction and using 11ty’s own image processing instead. #11ty

Ever have one of those days where you just can't figure out a bit of code that should be simple?

I'm trying to put together a big `<figure>` template in an #11ty nunjucks shortcode. I have an external image store and optimiser, and so I just want to pass the filename so that I can piece together the correct query url to resize/optimise the image.

Can I get that to work? Can I bobbins!

It seems to be trying to insert an object rather than interpreting the filename as a plain string to insert into another string.

Any help given might stop me exploding with frustration.

I expect that I am doing something dumb.

@Rat_Rebel If you're considering #11ty, here's a place to start.

@adjb Very nice! And showcased on the #11ty bundle:

please welcome a new #buildawesome site to the fold.

It's a lil thing, but I'm really happy with the /random page, as inspired by this approach: https://hamatti.org/posts/random-page-feature-for-a-static-site-with-eleventy/ by @hamatti

(If you think I posted about this not so long ago, you'd be right - I just love it so much 🤩)

It can also be visited with a URL Search param, enabling us to remove the countdown! Which is useful for jumping into a random blog post or such without waiting each time.

#11ty #Frontend

To manage the AI madness, I've started writing html templates. Old school way. Using #11ty, #SCSS, some bunch of scripts and template languages. Not a single line is written by LLM.

It feels so good. I used to be so fast with this things. Now I need tons of time to remember everything. But the feeling is amazing.

@urlyman You should definitely get back into #11ty. https://11tybundle.dev

Made some changes to my sites templates which prompted some other changes and now I have secondary content links that are topical, they were just the latest previously, and it looks like it works well for some people who want to binge on a topic!
