#11tyconf — Public Fediverse posts

@cferdinandi seeing your talk at #11tyConf made clear what a great teacher you are, so I think that’d be great content! That said, I don’t generally sit and watch coding videos, so maybe I wouldn’t be in the audience most of the time.

Finally got my #11tyConf swag. They were stuck in the customs (because of me) until now.

Now that I'm back home I'm excited to look at all of the #11tyconf talks that I missed 😭

@eleventy @hi_mayank
I am assuming there was a slight delay on the video feed as a few times during the day the captions were a word ahead of the video!

Or… the whole thing was all scripted… 😉

But in all seriousness, the caption team were fantastic!

(Each talk page on the conf.11ty.dev web site has a link to the respective video too)

i really respect that #11tyconf conf had speaker honorariums, despite being a free event.

it's super important for conferences to compensate all speakers, who spend dozens (sometimes hundreds) of hours preparing their talks.

personally, i chose to have my honorarium be donated to open source projects that i think need it more than me (namely @openwebdocs, @servo, @OddBird, and @vite)

ran across some old brainstorming notes for the name of the conference and laughed at one of the ideas:

This conference could have been an email

If you haven't, go watch the talk by @mia in the #11tyconf . It's really amazing and thought provoking.

Not sure how many people read to the end of articles these days, but I have to say I was quite pleased with my final paragraph ;)

"Perhaps it’s that feeling of being subversive — kicking against the platform pricks — and going back to our roots as a web developer community that has led to the Eleventy Renaissance. All I can say is: vive la résistance!"

Eleventy is an act of rebellion against the dark forces driving today’s internet, said its creator @zachleat at #11tyConf. Also at the lively event, we discovered that @eleventy does scale! https://thenewstack.io/static-sites-do-scale-eleventy-vs-next-js-at-11ty-event/ #WebDev

I (almost missed and) really enjoyed the first-ever #11tyConf last week.
https://cssence.com/2024/11tyconf/

It had it all: From “_you_ can to that” to “you can do _that_‽”

Only 44 to go!

I use @andycarolan's avatar of me a lot - even for my speaker listing for @eleventy's #11tyConf. He's good! Follow!

I enjoyed "Building a town that doesn't exist" by @dansinker at #11tyConf a lot! Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLxJ6PtuF9M&t=13858s

It's nice to build something for the web that isn't necessarily useful, but rather entertainment.

I did the same a couple days ago to honor the late #SteveAlbini by turning his letter to #Nirvana into a mini website. Web can be fun, you know

Catching up on @dansinker's #11tyConf talk and this just jumped out at me:

> Something that's marked with the patina of age, and the utility of a work-a-day website.

I like that. I'm not sure exactly how a website has patina but equally I think I could tell you, when I come across one that does. I also like the idea of a work a day website. Utilitarian, does the job for maybe a small company, just to establish their presence on the web.

Mmm. Onward.

I think I’m going to have to make an #11tyconf category on the https://11tybundle.dev/ site to capture all the post conference blog posts. Stay tuned. #11ty

As promised my highlights from the #11tyconf:

Very good way to spend my Thursday and I enjoyed all of the talks!

I didn't recap all of them, just a few but rest assured I learned a bunch of things from every single one of the presenters.

Planning on doing a full #11tyConf Organizer retrospective blog post, but in the interest of transparency here’s a peek at the conference budget (funded primarily by our Open Collective, prices in USD):

Expenses: $7574.20
Revenue: $4653.79 (Free event, but via sponsors and merch)
Profit: -$2920.41

Edit: Fixed a spreadsheet error 😬

I'm still hyped about everything that happened at #11tyconf. The talks were so great, and I'm once again keen to try out @eleventy in new ways.

Especially interested to try out the new ‘Eleventy Transform' option within the Eleventy Image plugin, allowing you to transform any `<img>` automatically into something more performant https://www.11ty.dev/docs/plugins/image/#eleventy-transform

Catching up with the #11tyConf this morning, UK time (time zone and family responsibilities meant I didn't attend live). Looks like it was a large and active audience, judging by the chat on YouTube. I thought I'd add my 2 cents to the 'how did you get to 11ty' topic. For me it was:

HTML > Geocities-like apps (can't recall which ones) > Radio Userland > Movable Type > WordPress > Hugo > Eleventy

(not counting code tools like Dreamweaver, FrontPage, VSCode, etc)

Hey @henry just saw your talk at #11tyConf, loving the energy! 🔥🔥🔥

Too bad you only had 11 minutes, I'm currently exploring #WebMentions and would've loved to hear about it more in-depth. Did you already blog about this, by any chance?

To everyone else, here's the talk I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/live/iLxJ6PtuF9M?si=qYE7qhAIbnAO92yk&t=8534

What did you use for your slides? For a moment I thought #iaPresenter 🤔
