Made a little post about my plans for making a lightweight, local first, serverless CMS for #11ty. Complete with code editor, plugin system and everything. Is it just a pipedream? Only spoons, time, energy and dopamine will tell

Three days ago, I had never heard of #11ty, Nunjucks, or HTML preprocessors. I haven’t hand-coded a website since the early days of Adobe GoLive, having been coddled by WordPress and SquareSpace ever since.

Decided to dive into building a static site from scratch, with no real idea how much web dev has advanced in the past 20 years. Now I'm leaning hard on Eleventy collections, filters, and includes and already have a decent looking blogging framework taking shape. Fun times learning new stuff!

Gotta say: my new #11ty #blog is really coming along. Quite happy with how it’s looking and DAMN is it fast to work with.

Like it’s taken me two days to have a more or less functional blog from scratch. Isn’t that wild?!

Anyway I think by this rate it’ll be ready next week! A step away from the algorithm internet thank god. I’m gonna be hosting Thoughts of Thinkymeat on #Neocities methinks.

I’ll keep yall posted

YAY! My #Python is improving! I made this thing that makes a new @eleventy for me based off templates. Any chance Eleventy will have a built in new post creation thing in the future? I know it makes absolutely zero assumptions about your project but this is the most time consuming part for me and I imagine I'm not alone in this thinking. https://github.com/rkingett/myblog/blob/main/MakeNewPost.py #Eleventy #11ty #WebDev

I've had a statuslog section on my now page (https://reillyspitzfaden.com/now/) for a while, and I added it to my homepage as well (https://reillyspitzfaden.com/#homepageStatus).

The especially nice part is that I now have a script (https://github.com/reillypascal/personalsite-ssg/blob/main/status) so I can simply type `./status` in the terminal, write the status text in the resulting .md file that pops open, and then commit/push!

I've seen some IndieWeb people (e.g., @binarydigit) do something similar via one of omg.lol's tools (https://home.omg.lol/info/statuslog) and liked it, but I wanted to see if I could DIY it just for the heck of it. Very happy with how easy the result is!

Dzisiaj polecam Wam podróż przez historię internetu z #CyberCultural https://cybercultural.com

Można przeglądać po epokach:

- Pre-web (1960s-80s)
- Dot-com (1990-2003)
- Web 2.0 (2004-2012)
- Enshittocene (2013-2021)

lub po latach:

Fajnie sobie przypomnieć, jak to wyglądało przed zgównieniem

"Cybercultural to kronika historii Internetu i jego wpływu na kulturę, od ery przedinternetowej do boomu dot-comów, Web 2.0 i nie tylko. Napisany przez pionierskiego blogera technologicznego Richarda MacManusa."

Przy okazji: strona oparta jest o #11ty

So, super simple Eleventy + Obsidian recipe for a #DigitalGarden space:

* Set up an 11ty project
* install the eleventy-plugin-interlinker (link below)
* open the project folder in Obsidian
* create a notes folder and change your settings so that all new notes go to that folder
* Add the Backlinks code from the interlinker plugin's readme into either an Obsidian template or a 11ty layout
* Add to that template some frontmatter for title, date
* Start making notes.

Serve locally (from terminal, vscodium,, whatever).

The interlinker plugin is here:

Wrote myself a how-to (or rather a "how did I?") for adding #leaflet maps to my #11ty site.

New newsletter is out!

THE Eleventy Meetup Episode 23 is scheduled for 23 April! With vrugtehagel and @mwdelaney as speakers - all details at https://11tymeetup.dev/

Any recommendations from the #11ty community about ESLint plugins? I know React, Vue, and other frameworks have their own plugin configurations, is there a similarly common one for 11ty?

I found this cool option to keep a post as a draft in my Eleventy site: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/config-preprocessors/#example-drafts

I'd been wanting a way to view posts on a local dev server, but leave them out of my published site, and now all I have to do is add `draft: true` to the YAML frontmatter on a post and then it won't publish except on a dev server. Nice!

Introducing @obsidian to Mastodon. A very early stage plugin to post arbitrary notes from your vault to your Mastodon instance. Right now, you still have to clone the Git repo, do some magic (it's all explained in the README) and super easy, and move the folder into your .plugins directory (also explained). But it should mostly work, for everything else please let me know.

This works really well with my Python script to fetch Mastodon posts into your Daily Note (https://gitea.com/medic/obsidian) and with my #11ty setup to pull in likes, reposts, and responses from Mastodon into your blog (you can see that one on this post).

You can see the #11ty blog integration here: https://ultreia.me/txt/date/2025-04-08/

I've finished writing up the details on how I added search to my 11ty site without client-side Javascript after the upgrade to 11ty version 3 removed the official serverless function.

Big thanks to Zach for jumping in with some answers when I couldn't read the manual correctly (and, ya know, creating Eleventy!)
