Issue 2

Apr 3, 2023

3 minutes to read

Welcome to Issue 2 of the 11ty Bundle. 11ty, aka Eleventy, is a "simpler 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 template languages, giving developers the freedom to choose the languages that best suit the needs of their project.

UPDATED: 2023-04-18 - I have added descriptions to each of the release and blog post entries. These are extracted from the release or blog post page itself as provided by the author.

UPDATED: 2023-04-07 - Releases and Blog posts are now sorted in reverse chronological order. I've updated this and subsequent posts to use Airtable as a data source to ease the process of preparing new issues. This will also make it easier to support user-supplied content down the road.

Scheduled Eleventy builds on Vercel with cron-triggered GitHub actions

In an effort to get away from client-side Javascript and embrace Eleventy for what it is (a static site generator), I've dropped my social-utils instance offline and my now-playing track display on my home page that still relied on it.
