#11ty — Public Fediverse posts

Top of my own wishlist, this one:

got <!-- pagebreak --> working this week: one long guide becomes five real pages, each with its own URL, canonical and hreflang. no front matter, no config.

Not in the release I'm announcing this week. It'll be in the one after. Or sooner if enough of you make noise.

You can see it in action on the docs site:

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
