Highlights

A new mascot for Eleventy. Say hello to our new little friend, created by David Neal, a very talented artist and long-time Eleventy enthusiast. If you have ideas for its name, please share them on Mastodon.

Another free hosting option. Kinsta, a hosting platform for web apps and sites has announced a free tier for hosting static sites, including support for Eleventy. According to the page describing the features, you can have up to 100 sites, 600 build minutes, and 100GB bandwidth per month per account, and automatic deploys based on pushes to your repositories. I have no dog in this fight, but wanted to share this announcement.

A new front matter option. In the upcoming 3.0 release, there will be a new feature that will be familar to folks using WebC. You can use arbitrary JavaScript in your front matter. You can read more about it in this GitHub discussion thread.

Until next time...
