Been seeing a lot of Eleventy action lately. It’s a smaller player in the world of static site generators, but I think it’s got huge potential because of how simple it is, yet does about anything you’d need it to do. It’s Just JavaScript™.
- Jason Lengstorf and Zach Leatherman did a Learn with Jason episode on it.
- Reginald Hunt has a big ol’ guide on it.
- Phil Hawksworth has all these starters for it, like EleventyOne and ElevenTail.
- Andy Bell has Hylia, another starter that’s preconfigured with Netlify CMS and a bunch of other goodies.
Thank you Chris!
I’ve been reworking my personal site to use Eleventy, and I keep being amazed. I think “Dang I wonder if this weird thing I want to do is possible…”, and it usually is — easily, too. And Zach was super helpful when I ran into a (silly) problem! It really is an amazing tool.
What kind of tennis score is eleventy-love?
JD wins this round, I think.
I “converted” to Eleventy from Hugo (which is still a great SSG too!). Like Christopher, I’ve also been reworking my personal website & blog with it. It’s been such a fun experience! Looking through 11ty starter projects was a great place to start. Still undecided on whether I’ll have blog commenting enabled or not (I’d like to!) though. Phil Hawksworth had a nice 11ty starter with Netlify & Slack powered commenting approach which might work and Commento also seem pretty viable option. Let’s see! :)
