The best dev tooling balances simplicity and power. This week’s podcast unpacks how Eleventy helps Web Awesome do just that—with zero vendor lock-in. 🎧 Tune in: youtu.be/0SKA5vE7d88?...

I don’t have a Vercel account to close.

If you’re looking at alternative web site building tools today, look at @11ty.dev and ZeroPoint. Simple static website pages; host it anywhere; always free. getzeropoint.com

This is grotesque. I lost any love for Vercel & Next years ago, but seeing him cozy up with genocide in Gaza — is beyond words. I feel for the employees. The horrifying truth: businesses that worked with the Nazis didn’t fall to capitalism. It’s down to us, we have to take our business elsewhere.

Introducing the beginnings of the ZeroPoint Block Library. Single-file components, to be used with a CMS or not, for 11ty. Copy and paste into your (properly configured) `components` directory and start using them immediately. Pull requests welcome. getzeropoint.com/block-library/

"I vibe-coded a…" "I asked ChatGPT to…" Brother please I am begging you to do something enriching with your time on this planet. Please stop treating your relationship with artificial intelligence as a personality. Please just play Final Fantasy Tactics Advance or Paint A Picture or Something.

Reusable HTML components are the monolithic CMS's killer feature. Designers and stakeholders easily understand designing websites in blocks. We can avoid corporate owned CMSes and do this in @11ty.dev and DecapCMS or @sveltiacms.app. You don't need WordPress. getzeropoint.com/building-wit...

“The Mole People” is my favorite #MST3K and I don’t care who knows it. Even if @billcorbett.bsky.social knew I wouldn’t care!

Who do I know at @netlify.com ? This is pretty bananas to say they are retroactively charging me against my plan for possibly maybe someday adding a user

🚨 New tool: Impolighthouse Not just “how fast is my site?”, but “why is it slow, and what does that say about our org?” A deliberately impolite wrapper on top of Lighthouse, that calls out your organizational cruft, blockers & bad decisions. www.jonoalderson.com/impolighthou...

All this computer hacking is making me thirsty.

Static site generators can be hard for stakeholders to buy into because they don't have a familiar UI. I'm here to demystify adding a friendly CMS to your @11ty.dev site: ZeroPoint now includes good working examples of @sveltiacms.app and Decap CMS configurations! getzeropoint.com#adding-a-cms

Do I know someone who has experience (or ability) working with Pagefind pagefind.app to implement search for an @11ty.dev based website who also happens to be available for hire? I need someone who can use the search API to create a custom implementation with custom HTML markup. Thank you #lazyWeb

I just implemented a collapse inside a dropdown because the design called for it. Is there a a11y association I can donate some money to offset?

Remember when we put coffee stains on our personal web designs

We don’t need 7/8ths of the technology we’re using to build brochure websites and I’m here to talk about it.

Do you mind if I name my first child after you? "Dipshit Knight" has a nice ring to it.

I’m working on a releasing a new version of ZeroPoint, a corporate-free alternative to monolithic CMSes built around @11ty.dev and my strong opinions. I’m slow-rolling it but I published a new version of the website as motivation. getzeropoint.com

Attention @11ty.dev fans and those who are 11ty-curious, the 11ty Meetup is TOMORROW. Check out the details: 11tymeetup.dev/events/ep-26...

Making websites and publishing content to the web are separate hobbies.

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

in light of the current supply chain attacks, I've just published a @github.com action to detect packages that _lose_ their provenance. 📦 supports pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock.json, yarn.lock (v1) 🎨 inline GitHub annotations ✅ JSON output + configurable 💪 published in TS with zero deps

If you're using this opportunity to take ownership of your site and content, look at ZeroPoint! It's built around @11ty.dev and designed to get you "up to zero" and writing/designing your content, rather than setting up your tools, and every bit of it belongs to you forever! getzeropoint.com
