To the #Eleventy community: does anyone know of any projects to make an 11ty website a first class member of the #fediverse, similar to what The Verge is doing (via WordPress it seems like) and 404 Media will do once Ghost is ready (ref https://digiday.com/media/why-publishers-are-preparing-to-federate-their-sites/). I did implement #webmentions on Cybercultural.com, using Bridgy etc, but it was unsatisfactory so I took it offline. I do want Cybercultural to be an “actor” on the fediverse tho, so now thinking about how to achieve that via 11ty.
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! 💚
That someone — @zachleat — is asking for help to make the job of shepherding #Eleventy full-time into something that can be independent and sustainable.
In a sea of VC-backed tools whose goals are often at odds with a healthy web, Eleventy stands out to me as worthy of our collective support 💜
🚀🧩 I just shipped addRemoteData, an #Eleventy plugin for easily fetching remote data from one or more endpoints and exposing each response as a global data variable
👋🏻🎈We're looking for ONE (1) more speaker for the @eleventy meetup! It's fun, everyone's awesome, come hang out and talk about something you've built and/or enjoy! #Eleventy
If you're developing with #11ty#eleventy, then it's really important that you fill out the Eleventy Community Survey. @zachleat is no longer full-time and he's looking to get input on where to focus his side project time for @eleventy. You can find info about the survey on the home page of the 11ty Bundle site. Please boost. https://11tybundle.dev/
I'll share insights into I build sites for my communities using Global Data Files in a way where content updates only require changing JSON files – which can be done almost painlessly even through GitHub web UI in a pinch.
@robb will also be there and he's talking about gobbling up everything with Eleventy.
I just published Issue 6 of the 11ty Bundle. We've now got over 500 posts from more than 200 authors...and more. Check it out. Oh, and we highlight the new book on Eleventy by @brob . #11ty#eleventy@eleventy
hey look at that, we quietly launched a new https://blog.glitch.com/ - a rewrite of the nextjs/prismic cms blog we'd been using into an @eleventy (v3 canary 5!) markdown blog. incredibly fast, and tbh easier for our content folks to edit and update. other fun bits:
I recently reviewed and rebuilt my entire website piece-by-piece as a means of brushing aside cobwebs and to move things over to ESM (now supported in the #eleventy canary channel). However, I still had some egregious build times from asset bundling, and got sick and tired of all the waiting. I took a page out of https://pack11ty.dev by @nhoizey and saw a drastic improvement!
