eleventy 🕚⚡️
A simpler site generator. Transforms a directory of templates (of varying types) into HTML.
And that's it! Writing this blogpost probably took longer than the process to export Meetup to JSON, and generate new markdown files for the Jekyll blog! You can view all of the full source on my github at https://github.com/jeffsheets/ojug-meetup-export
Before showing you how the event blog post pages were generated, a quick note on the tech for ojug.org (src at https://github.com/OJUG/ojug.github.io). It is running on a standard Github Pages Jekyll workflow stack. While we have thoughts to move that over to 11ty, for now Jekyll is working fine. Create a new markdown file in the _posts folder, merge to the main branch, and the workflow auto-kicks off and redeploys our ojug.org site like magic.
