Welcome to Issue 12 of the 11ty Bundle. 11ty, aka Eleventy, is a static site generator that is designed to be simple, flexible, and highly customizable. It is built on Node.js and allows developers to create websites by transforming templates and data into static HTML files. It supports multiple templating languages, including HTML, Markdown, Nunjucks, Liquid, and more, which gives developers the freedom to choose the languages they are most comfortable with or that best suit their project's needs.

This issue has 6 new blog posts that came out since the last issue. We're flirting with the magic 600 number, but not quite there yet...we're at 597 blog posts.

There's also a relatively new starter that looks pretty cool, it's called Eleventy Notes, created by Sandro Roth. It's described as "A simple, lightweight, and flexible note-taking template for Eleventy." You'll find listed among the other Starters. We're up to a baker's dozen of starters (13 for those of you who are counting).

And here's what I said last week about the sites section:

I've got just two new sites for this issue. And I'm thinking that the Eleventy Leaderboards site is a much better source of sites built with Eleventy. As a result, unless I come across one or more compelling new sites, the Built with Eleventy section will not be included.

I spoke too soon, 3 new sites showed up on my radar. Among the most interesting is the TC39 site that is now built with Eleventy. TC39 is the committee that manages the development of ECMAScript, the standard upon which JavaScript is based. Too bad that it doesn't have a meta description tag to display, but it's still a cool site.
