A starter repository for a blog web site using the Eleventy static site generator.
I browsed 11tybundle.dev for inspiration and quickly found a starter template I liked.

A simpler site generator. Transforms a directory of templates (of varying types) into HTML.
Then I remembered Eleventy. I had heard about it from people who don’t typically follow framework hypes. For example, Stefan Baumgartner’s blog and the Working Draft website both use it. That idea appealed to me. Perfect.

I first tried VitePress, thinking it would be easy for me. I followed the Getting Started Guide. But even during setup, I realized: I'd need time to explore themes, actions, and features. I’d need at least an afternoon with full focus. The baby was already stirring in the carrier—so no time for that.

Meta tags and OG images? Uh, maybe later.

To maximize learning, I could choose something new. Normally, I consider that a valid reason. But given my limited time, that wasn't a priority for me. Another criterion could be long-term viability: Is there a large core team and an active community? Well, who still remembers AngularJS? From Google? And didn’t Facebook/Meta start Jest? I wouldn’t rely too much on that.
