Optimizing Images for Developer Blogs
Use a JavaScript library to implement lazy loading. There are a number of JavaScript libraries available that can help you implement lazy loading, such as Lazysizes and Lozad.

Generate thumbhash at edge for tiny progressive images
Normally I would write some client-side JS to do this but as this project is solely server-rendered I opted to use a simple tried-and-true library for this: lazysizes.

Tell HN: I was tired of being a perfectionist so I built an app within 24 hours
I recently did some optimizations on my personal website to make the images load “lazily.” In other words it only loads stuff once it hits the viewport. I think that’s what you’re looking for. I tried two techniques:
1. There is an HTML attribute to do just this and it seems to work for iframes too: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Performance/Laz...
2. There is a simple library called “lazy sizes” (https://github.com/aFarkas/lazysizes)
I tried to avoid the lib and use the native HTML… but for whatever reason the lib worked more reliably/effectively in manual tests as well as in my benchmarking via PageSpeed / Lighthouse. YMMV!

What unpopular webdev opinions do you have?
lazysizes is better than loading="lazy"

Native lazyload images vs other libraries
Since browsers support native lazy-loading, do we need libraries like this https://github.com/aFarkas/lazysizes?

Few tips to improve WebPage Performance
Use Lazy loading for below-the-fold images. (You can use different 3rd party libraries like Unveil, lazysizes, etc.)

You can also use this really great library for handling the loading of images in a holistic and well-supported way or you can look at manually implementing the LQIP technique.

HTML tips you might not have been aware of
And, lazyloading is only for images. If you use e.g. lazysizes you can do anything with it. I'm a digital publisher so I use it for ads and embedded tweets/IGs and so on.

Ask HN: What's the simplest static website generator?
I suggest you to try out eleventhy (https://www.11ty.dev/)
Quite simple to start, and a nice system to add some scripting and styles without the requirement of bringing in a framework.

Eleventy - Create a global production flag
A production flag enables you to run activities in dev or production such as minifying assets, showing draft posts, etc. There isn't a built-in flag or function that comes with eleventy (11ty) specifically for this. However we have this info at our fingertips.

Removing React is just weakness leaving your codebase
It’s 2024, and you are about to start a new project. Do you reach for React, a framework you know and love or do you look at one of the other hot new frameworks like Astro, Enhance, 11ty, SvelteKit or gasp, plain vanilla Web Components?

Eleventy vs. Next.js for static site generation
Eleventy is a fast and powerful SSG that really shines when it comes to pure static site generation because it does not require the loading of a client-side JavaScript bundle in order to serve content.

You don't need JavaScript for that

Why You Should Write Your Own Static Site Generator
https://doublejosh.com/post/186193119278/metalsmithjs-is-sti...
Then two years ago I needed a more robust SSR system based on React, so I went with GatsbyJS. It's insanely mature and intuitive, but as we all know that community and business is now drying up too. But the framework is still great.
Now everyone sings the praises of NextJS, which can be used for SSR but is intended for applications and active server endpoints. But more complexity doesn't mean better.
I'm keen to try other simple frameworks when the result is a static site. I may give https://www.11ty.dev a shot.

From Jason: my custom digital garden in 11ty
11ty is a lightweight static site generator. I chopped up my HTML and used the 11ty starter template called eleventy-base-blog as the structural foundation for the site.
