I’m starting a blog (again)! Why do I want to have a blog?
️ @harris nice blog! I love to document things too!
@harris what tools do you use to build your blog?
@khoi I experimented with using Eleventy for the first time to build it! I'm planning to write a post about some of the technical nitty gritty sometime soon, but you can see my code here: https://github.com/harrislapiroff/chromamine.com
or just a coincidence. @khoi I had previously used Jekyll and I mostly liked it, but I found myself craving more customizability. I really wanted to keep the fundamental static-generator nature of Jekyll, though, and not build a site that relied too much on client side JS.
11ty not only has clearer hooks for customizing it, but it's written in a language I'm familiar with (JS as opposed to Ruby) so it felt like the sky was the limit as far as things I could do!
@harris Congrats! I started in 1997 and never stopped.
