I've got a cool #eleventy site in the works. Well, the actual end result will not be that interesting, but it's going to be a fun one to build.
I've got a hopelessly out-of-date Drupal site with broken deployments that I'd rather not fix, so I wrote some fairly simple scrapers to grab most of the content and directly generate new #markdown files.
I didn't realize quite how big this site was. It's got about 560 content items across five content types, but I'm able to scrape just about everything. I'm throwing in #decapcms to manage it, and it's working perfectly so far.
This may be the most complex Eleventy site I've built so far. My personal site has a comparable amount of content, but in this one, the content is full of references to other content items.
For those of you who were using Forestry as a CMS for some of your websites, you must have received the information about the end of service of the app last Friday.
If you are looking for an alternative git-based CMS, I have successfully tested the migration to Static CMS. It’s a promising fork of Netlify CMS (now called Decap CMS), it’s open source and the team behind it has just released their v2.0.
