• Create a Blogging Platform With No Backend (Zero Hosting Fee)

  There were many ways for doing this (thanks to redditors!). One of the best was generating static website and utilizing a CMS that allows github syncing. I went for 11ty (Eleventy) + Decap CMS (formerly Netlify CMS) + Netlify Identity and I was able build something like this within couple of days:

  I recently migrated my personal website from Next.js to 11ty, it was a great experience, which I will write more about in a later blog post.

• How to build a blog with NodeJS

  If you're looking to start a blog (or if you're thinking of redesigning yours although you haven't posted in 2 years), you'll stumble upon a lot of options and it can be incredibly daunting; and if you stumble with the newest Josh's post about his stack it is easy to feel overwhelmed with the shown stack.

  I also proposed using Bootstrap with https://www.11ty.dev for the templates. It's much easier to update a JSON file than to work with WordPress.

  By using relative paths for assets and loading Bootstrap from a CDN, I can zip the website and share it via email.

• Eleventy - Is it time to upgrade to version 3?

  I made a new branch of my website and followed the instructions in the v3.0.0-beta.1 release notes:

• How I extend my blog with gamified learning

  I write and create my posts using markdown, this is then converted to html with 11ty engine. The layout of the page are decided by the metadata in the front matter section, 11ty the uses the layouts I have created using Nunjucks. This way I can add metadata and control how the page is rendered, I can inject sections and links.

• Ask HN: What is the best way to author blogs in 2024v

  Eleventy. It’s a static site generator that’s super stable, they take backwards compatibility ver seriously so you can count on it for a long time. It’s lightweight so you don’t have to install a million dependencies to get it working, and it’s the only one of the big SSG projects that’s independently funded so they’re not chasing VC backed hyper growth.

• Writing HTML by hand is easier than debugging your static site generator

  Depends on your language of choice. Personally I use Eleventy[0]. Written in JavaScript (so you'll need node & npm). Has very minimal default settings but highly configurable. Pick your templates or just use markdown if you really want. Hot reloading is enabled by default.
