• Is running a CommonJS runtime a viable solution for bundler-free development? Has anyone tried this?

  I know there's Snowpack (though it is no longer maintained), which takes a different, a bit more complex approach. The CJS runtime approach seems way simpler, almost too good to be true? Is there something I'm missing? Source: about 3 years ago

• Astro and the move to MDX

  This is somewhat reminiscent of the Astro devs’ decision late last year to transition Astro from their own Snowpack platform to Vite. It wasn’t easy, but the performance win was significant. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• #5 - 'The Power of [Separation] Compels You!'

  Because I use 11ty as my static site generator (SSG) with Nunjucks for templating, using a data file that holds an array of all the credit objects seemed like the way to go. At build time, when the SSG creates the files to be rendered by the browser, a for-loop in the Nunjucks template for the page could simply iterate over the array, injecting the data into the HTML build artifact, allowing 11ty to then do all... - Source: dev.to / 13 days ago

• 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 / over 1 year 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: almost 2 years 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 / over 2 years 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 / over 2 years ago
