Can anyone working at #Netlify comment on the current discourse regarding small hobbyists with static sites having to unexpectedly deal with huge, sudden bills?
For components without major complexity, this is something that works well for me. However, I have also tried to rely entirely on WebC, which, as I understand it, is the intended approach.
This has not been particularly easy for me, and the docs don't really help either. 😅
I'm experimenting more than I really understand what I'm doing, and that's reflected in code that I can't quite understand myself in the end. I guess it's too complex for me, confusing even, especially for things that I could solve much easier with Nunjucks, for example.
WebC is currently in version 0.11.4, the last update was in April last year, and I understand that @zachleat's focus is entirely on Eleventy 3.0 and its features. Nevertheless, I am of course interested in whether the project will be developed further at all, and if so, in which direction it will go.
Is it possible that in the first major release everything will be done differently and I should better not rely on it in larger projects yet, at least not beyond "non-traditional usage"?
WebC feels like a logical template language choice for me if I want to work primarily with web components in an Eleventy project. I'd really like to see it get more attention and be easier to use/understand.
Who would be interested and how could we do this? Is it really just the lack of documentation that is "to blame" for the fact that it doesn't really click with me?
@darius Now that I know this will definitely be developed further, I'm planning a blog post with my findings, and I'm also planning to create a small documentation page that will mainly contain examples. I always need examples to understand something. This page would of course be very open for any participation!
@ohhelloana@raed My partner is one of those indie musicians. I wish there was a platform that paid them fairly - I would subscribe instantly. And, I never really considered the impact on the environment in this context. Thanks for making me aware! I guess I will return to my JJ Cale MP3 collection.
I have 4 different #Mastodon clients installed on my phone, and the annoying thing is I like something in each of them so deciding on only 1 to keep is proving difficult
Wooooo, thanks to @lene for https://eleventy-excellent.netlify.app/blog/eleventy-excellent-20/! I spent the night last night converting my site too it. What was already a great starter is that much better. (Full disclosure, I handle colors on the site differently, but one of the beauties of the starter is how easy that is to do.)
I just published a big update for #Eleventy Excellent! Everything is the same and everything is different, I try and explain it a little bit in the blog of the preview, though I still plan to (and I hope I really will! :blobcatfearful: ) document everything better to make upgrading easier.
Thank you @belldotbz for sharing your excellent workflow with us! 💚
@flamed I'm sure it's not! Maybe the biggest change to consider is the new .wrapper utility. Other than that, it's hundreds of tiny optimizations across almost all files.
What @chriscoyier is doing here is something I was planning to try and implement myself some time in the future, great that I don't have to solve it on my own anymore! :blobcatsmug:
@DavidDarnes The first show that my 5 year old daughter and I find equally entertaining. And so inspiring for parents when it comes to playing with children
I'm trying (for the second time) to use webc with #11ty, and again, I feel really dumb. It really seems like there's just not enough examples to make sense of the docs.
Is it even possible to filter a collection in a loop? Does something like this work at all?
@Chris I also struggled, and still do. I was planning to write a blog post where I collect handy snippets. Maybe a separate public community documentation would be a better idea?
For inspiration I recommend studying the repo of @hexagoncircle's new website, it is full webc, and I learned a lot. https://ryanmulligan.dev/
@nfd My thought was always, as long as I display it with the indicator (also for screen reader users), it's okay to open the link in a new window (After all, as a user, I was also used to it, because most websites do it this way). But now my default is both indicator and same window/tab. I just came to the conclusion that this is the best way.
