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.
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 🎉
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 💚

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! #11tyconf #11ty
If you're only gonna watch one thing this weekend, watch this amazing talk about the history of styling in the web and the guiding principles of how browsers work with regards to styling by @mia from last week's 11ty conference.
I’ll write more about this next week, but last night I quietly switched over to a new 11ty v3 build of my site. Cut myself on the bleeding edge a few times but also figured out a whole lot of fun things!
Awesome - I had to dash for a comfort break for this part and only caught the end of it live so thank you for uploading it as my lovely #11ty site is there a couple before @bobmonsour lovely site! Hurrah!
My goal this week is deploying the next major release of my #11ty Interlinking (wikilink) plugin and catching up on publishing my last 31 weeks in review :thisisfine:
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
