• Character and Subsector generators for Classic Traveller, with TAS Forms!

  I wrote an online catalog a while back (and I need to get back on adding graphics and products at some point). It’s written using Eleventy and the minisearch library. The source and data are available on Github if you want to see how I did things. I’m not a professional web designer either, but it was a fun project. Source: 5 months ago

• How to build a website without frameworks and tons of libraries

  I moved from static HTML to 11ty (https://11ty.dev) for the same reason and I'm pretty happy with how simple it allows you to keep things. Plus, it helps me avoid yak shaving instead of writing content! I think for a site like this I'd go with 11ty, just a clean project without a template or custom config, one collection to pull the photos from Flickr inline the styles. (just sharing my personal approach, nothing... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Running Eleventy Serverless On AWS Lambda@Edge

  Eleventy is great. It’s a static site generator written in JavaScript, for “Fast Builds and even Faster Web Sites.” It’s 10 to 20 times faster than the alternatives, like Gatsby or Next.js. You get all of your content statically rendered and ready to be CDN-delivered. You needn’t worry about server-side rendering to get those pretty social share unfurls. And, if you have a large data set, that’s great — Eleventy... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• 23 of the best Eleventy Themes (Starters) for 2023

  An Eleventy starter project using JavaScript templates — the vanilla JavaScript and Eleventy theme of your dreams. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Sweeter searches with Pagefind

  As newer versions of Pagefind appear, its powers grow; and one of those enhancements has enabled me to make my site’s search results better — specifically, by cutting out stuff which really didn’t belong. I’ll give a couple of examples herein, explaining the respective procedures for my two favorite SSGs, Eleventy and Hugo. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Creating excerpts in Astro

  This blog is running on Hugo. It had previously been running on Jekyll. Both these SSGs ship with the ability to create excerpts from your markdown content in 1 line or thereabouts. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• JS Toolbox 2024: Essential Picks for Modern Developers Series Overview

  We also take a look into static site generators, covering Astro, Nuxt, Hugo, Gatsby, and Jekyll. We take a detailed look into their usability, performance, and community support. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Starlight vs. Docusaurus for building documentation

  In that case, what we need would be closer to a static site generator (like Gatsby, Hugo, Jekyll). But, static site generators aren't the best choice either because we would have to build a lot of documentation-focused functionality (like versioning, search, and code blocks) ourselves. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: Looking for lightweight personal blogging platform

  In future, if you want to move from Jekyll to something else, you just have to worry about that `_posts` and `_assets` folder. They may have different naming convention but you can just config-managed it or change it to your choice. This is why I suggested owning that two yourself. You also may not worry about FrontMatter[3] (meta in the header) and its accompanying jazz by asking Jekyll to use the plugins... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: Looking for lightweight personal blogging platform

  As per many other comments, it sounds like a static site generator like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/), hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) or GitLab Pages (https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/), would be a good match. If you set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD to do the build and deploy (see e.g.... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
