I have just released version 3.0 of Eleventy Excellent, now fully on ESM and with many other changes, including my attempts to learn more about WebC and web components. Contributions very welcome! 💚
@lene it’s been a minute but the redirect syntax is pretty similar. It’ll be a few days but could help take a look too. If it’s different maybe there’s a way we could programmatically keep it updated.
Should update my site again to the new and improved 3.0 version 😎
I really like that it can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be.
I'm not quite sold on it for hosting blogs (yet), but I've migrated a few of my smaller projects for which I've used a simple node app (mainly to take advantage of templating).
Huge improvement in memory consumption! For example, https://simplepagebuilder.app went from 67.89MB down to just 6.07MB.
@christian if you’re moving away from SASS, perhaps you want to try vanilla extract. I’ve been using it for three years now and I keep finding new awesome things about it.
I want to redo my website again, because it really doesn't reflect a "digital cafe" or "garden". Does anyone have favorite #11ty templates they can share? I've seen so many gorgeous sites but don't have the talent to make a theme from scratch 😅
Every month I pay subscriptions for Netflix, Spotify and Google. But none of them provide as much value to me as #11ty - its the best tool I know, and I use it for everything I can.
That's why I'm a long time supporter of the project - and now that it's going independent, you should consider becoming one too!
While I've only recently started to spend serious time using @eleventy, I've long admired and align with the values/culture @zachleat has been cultivating for years.
Zach is now looking for help to independently go full-time on #11ty. I want to share and encourage anyone with extra money, influence, or both to consider supporting this project.
Like other folks have been saying today, I too want to live in a world where projects like 11ty are sustainable.
@eleventy@zachleat I often think about this quote from The "Cheap" Web manifesto:
> cheap ≠ free
> Making nice things is difficult and time-consuming.
> If we want people to make nice things for us, we have to pay for their rent and grocery bills and raw materials.
So as of today, I am now contributing monthly to the project and will be nominating 11ty for Microsoft's FOSS fund going forward
Thanks for all your hard work pushing the web forward @zachleat!
I want to live in the kind of world where great folks like @zachleat can sustain themselves independently with a full-time focus on #opensource projects like @eleventy!
Exciting moment for the #11ty community and open source in general 🎉
@uncenter@zachleat@eleventy It's also ENTIRELY possible that my ADHD-driven sensitivity is causing me to read your original words with a tone that wasn't there and react too strongly (or that you're also ND and I'm not recognizing your own communication quirks).
@uncenter@zachleat@eleventy As someone who's often told I'm being an asshole when I don't intend to be, you handled my feedback far better than I would have if I were on the receiving end of it.
Why have I been sleeping on AVIF!? The site I tested it on isn't particularly image heavy, but turning 1.8 MB .png into 330 KB .avif is just an absolute win. All done on the fly thanks to the 11ty Image Plugin 💚
@stefanzweifel Oh! It made me realize that Plexamp exists for macOS with the iOS app, and it's great since I used the plex web version which is not as good as the dedicated music app.
@regis Plexamp is awesome.
I’ve downloaded some ambient music from World of Warcraft and mostly listen to this while coding.
Probably 80% of the time, Plexamp is running.
