3 minutes to read

Welcome to Issue 53 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.

Vacation note: We're heading out of town for a week or so. I will continue to add content to the site, but publication of the 11ty Bundle will likely be 2 weeks out, rather than the typical weekly cadence. If you want to keep up, there's an RSS feed for the Firehose and one for the Releases.

Zach's Eleventy Weekly Report №8. Here's Zach's Mastodon post where he's been outlining his weekly progress on all things Eleventy, some of which I recap below.

Zach's weekly eleventy update number 5

v3 updates continue. Helen Chong has hopped aboard the Eleventy 3.0 train. Here's how she went about it.

Practical SVG book via 11ty. Back in 2016, Chris Coyier wrote a book called Practical SVG. It was published by A Book Apart, which no longer sells or distributes books. Chris has built an Eleventy site for the book, but also built an Eleventy "starter" of sorts that converts the epub book format into an Eleventy site of the book. I have not yet tried it, but it looks very cool.

I removed webmentions. I had added the display of webmentions to these blog posts at the time when it seemed all the rage. In the interest of simplifying the site and weighing the utility of displaying them, I decided to remove them. I don't expect that they'll be missed. Please feel free to correct me (via email) if you think this was a bad move.

Speaking of webmentions. Chris Burnell has a new post that, while titled "July Project Updates", covers an update he made to his own webmentions plugin, now in beta.

Until next time...

July Project Updates

An update on two projects I’ve been working on—one new and one old—based on some development oversights I’ve made in the past that I’d like to prevent going forward.

It turns out a CMS can be pretty awesome

Having a CMS to update your site can be awesome. It's not strictly necessary and mine is entirely over-engineered but here we are. It's helpful on mobile, it's been incredibly useful on desktop.
