A note from Bob:
Writing this following the first week of our month-long stay in Burbank. I continue rehab from knee replacement surgery and my wife has completed 5 of her 20 radiation treatments. So far, we're both doing well and staying positive. We lucked out with a nice Airbnb in a nice walkable neighborhood. Our dog, Soda, is loving it.
Highlights
11ty meetup Apr 23. The date is set for the next Eleventy Meetup. Hear from vrugtehagel (their handle on the Discord server) on how he uses Notion as a CMS, and Michael Delaney will walk through component prototyping with 11ty.
CMS developments in progress. I noticed two distinct CMS efforts to support 11ty. One was noted in this Reddit thread. Known at the moment as JekyllPad, the Reddit thread claims that it now will support 11ty. The second is a coming Electron-based app that I discovered via this Mastodon post. Here's the related blog post. I love to see developments like this.
Drafts are simpler. Someone, I can't recall who, cited this section of the 11ty docs showing how incredibly simple it is to set up a draft system. I recall a far more complex method required in earlier times.
QR code curious? Al Power shows how to dynamically create QR codes in Eleventy.
Eleventy v3.1.0-alpha.1. Check out the release notes and get yourself to testing.
Until next time...
