• Making Eleventy Data Traceable with TSX and Zod

  Eleventy is a fast and versatile static site generator (SSG). Out of the box, it is most likely to appeal to developers used to earlier Python- or Ruby-based web frameworks and SSGs (e.g. Django, Flask, or Jekyll). - Source: dev.to / 2 days ago

• 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 / 11 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

• Trying to work around a Jekyll site-building tutorial without using Jekyll

  You can - you'd basically just create a python script that parses your HTML/CSS files and replaces strings with values from your YAML. However I wouldn't recommend that unless you're just using this as an opportunity to learn Python. If you want to standup a real site and you want to use python, I'd recommend a Python static site generator like Pelican or Nikola. Source: over 1 year ago

• I'm building a personal website. Should I bother doing it in Python or just use a template?

  I tend to prefer static site generators for this kind of use case. I use Nikola, which is written in and based on Python. You should be able to pick whatever html5up template you like and turn it into a Nikola template, too. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: How to build a light weight personal blog?

  I switched to Nikola recently: https://getnikola.com/ Reads every kind of plaintext format, but will also just publish a Jupyter notebook which means you can do drag and drop image and graph inlining which makes everything so much simpler (and thus makes me more likely to keep it up). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
