Gaaaaaah. Trying to cache #eleventy posts in #netlify. I thought it was working but now the build keeps failing, which incidentally works fine on my local machine.

Here’s a simple example site using the Chobble Template, for a fictional builders company. It’s AGPL3 licensed and uses #Eleventy with very limited JS - the Formspark contact form which uses it to block bots via Botpoison, and Turbo for instant page changes

Finally figured out my RSS issue the other day! So @eleventy really doesn't like capital letters in tag lists. For example, I assumed Eleventy would turn the below tag...

Newsletter

Into,

.com/newsletter/

but I had to go back in and change every tag to lower case! But if I put, Newsletter, in uppercase, URLs would break because for some reason the URLs would come out like this, breaking links.

.com/Newsletter/

So the short story lesson is, if in doubt, keep all tags in lower case because #Eleventy can't really handle capitalization well. At least, on my project anyway!

I had to go back in and change every instance of the tag, Newsletter, into, newsletter. Not expected but it works now!

#Eleventy experts, I've been trying to troubleshoot an RSS fluke all day. My feed reader isn't displaying the texts of my posts, and Buttondown isn't piping my newsletter RSS feed to the email list. Any ideas? https://github.com/rkingett/myblog #RSS #Help #WebDev @eleventy

I've put an example website up at https://example.chobble.com

It's an #Eleventy site with a news section, a product listing section, galleries, reviews, a contact form, tag pages, responsive images, an RSS feed, social media icons, minimal CSS, no JS, yadda yadda yadda

Its code is open source so you can use it as the basis for your own sites, or (even better!) you can employ me to build and host one for you!

Eleventy — Use Passthrough File Copy to Add Assets

Learn how to use the Passthrough File Copy feature to add static assets like CSS and JS to the output directory in the Eleventy (11ty) site.

Have been poking around different options for using #Eleventy for a notes / #DigitalGarden / personal #wiki sort of set up. Have been debating whether to try and cobble together my own set-up or use a template.

`eleventy-bloomz` might be the winner so far: minimally styled, few dependencies, functional backlinks, and a few extra features. Stays close to the basic Eleventy structure, including a minimal blog implementation.

It is meant to function as a WikiBonsai template but I don't see anything specific to that approach that couldn't be easily changed.

Would be happy to hear if anyone has a set-up they are particularly happy with.

My #Eleventy starter/plugin is still there with a beautiful 400!

Why I Migrated My Newsletter From Substack to Eleventy and Buttondown - Richard MacManus https://ricmac.org/2024/01/26/why-i-migrated-my-newsletter-from-substack-to-eleventy-and-buttondown/ #Substack #Eleventy #Newsletter #MailingList #11ty

One thing I am loving about @eleventy is I can make one snippet and use it everywhere, and if I wanna update that one snippet I just change the NJK file, like this one. Displays all tags with a counter! https://github.com/rkingett/myblog/blob/main/_includes/tags.njk #11ty #WebDev #Eleventy

We had a wonderful #11ty meetup today!

David talked about #Umami analytics and @zachleat showed once again amazing new tools in the ecosystem.

Check out the talks from https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJy3jyeGVYUoyTlnt_S3Bni9XOmXjTm1t

@sia is doing amazing work with the meetups, bringing the community together to learn!

Started a website (mainly a #blog) a few months ago using #Eleventy but with a starter template.

I've enjoyed it a lot, tech-wise, but had a new project idea and decided to fire up a super basic blog using Eleventy but from scratch. Just for fun.

And fun it is!

Even though I've enjoyed poking at the template I've been using to see how things work, something about piecing together this lowest-of-low-tech site from scratch is *way* more fun.

So this other project (to be revealed eventually) will probably double as my WebDev playground --- even though I want to keep it pretty minimalist in style and features.

Think I will play with this the rest of the night, as long as the power holds out, to drown out the absolute dumpster that is today's news.

Recently, I asked for advice about choosing a new static site generator. I have converted troz.net to Eleventy, and here's a post detailing why and how: https://troz.net/post/2025/eleventy/

Hey @NVAccess someone wanted me to record going through their #Hugo and #Eleventy website, on video, using a screen reader and upload the video to PeerTube. Is there any visual things I can do to make the experience easier to follow for sighted viewers? I've enabled speech viewer but I can't seem to alt tab to it? Am I supposed to dock the speech viewer on the side of the screen or keep it focused? I have the highlight enabled. Is there anything else I can do to make the keystrokes easier to follow visually built into NVDA itself?

It's my Year in Rebrew! I made a silly Spotify-Wrapped-esk site for our work's coffee club to visualise our coffees throughout the year.
