  You may be interested in 11ty simplicity, and I really don't need to write another tutorial teaching how to use it, since they already created this guide, a 6-minute video teaching how to create a blog from scratch, and a base blog project in GitHub.

• Ow I Blog with Obsidian, Hugo, GitHub, and Cloudflare – Zero Cost Owned
  9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 23 Apr 2025

  I have a sort of similar setup but I haven't started using Obsidian yet, it's on my todo list. I use Eleventy instead of Hugo, with its simple Eleventy-Base-Blog starter template. I use Github action to publish to Github pages instead of using Cloudflare. It's a nascent site/blog, haven't written much, no images yet, so I don't see the need for something more than Github pages right now.

  One thing I don't see the author mention that is part of what I plan to do with Obsidian is use Syncthing (which I already use for other things) so I can work on a post when I'm not at my laptop. Probably just to write down ideas/notes and then fully work it out when I get to my laptop.

  If the blog author is here, curious if they commit drafts to their repo or not. I personally don't commit drafts. Besides also using 'draft: true` in the front-matter, I gitignore any markdown file where the filename starts with the word "draft". When I'm ready to publish I rename the file.

  Limited Scope: Eleventy is primarily suited for blogs and simple static sites. It lacks advanced interactivity and business logic capabilities. ## Start with a Starter Projects — Eleventy When starting an 11ty project, there are many templates available to help you get started quickly. These templates provide pre-configured setups for various use cases, such as blogs, portfolios, and more. I chose the Official Starter template to begin. Link to the template. After selecting the "Official Starter" template, I followed the instructions to set up my project. This involved installing dependencies, initializing Git, and running a few commands to get everything up and running. ## How to Write Posts? I use Obsidian to write posts and sync them to the content/blog/ directory in my project. Writing in Markdown makes it easy to maintain posts. Here’s how I do it in a few steps: ### Step 1: Write the Post in Obsidian I create a folder in Vault's Obsidian name public will store my posts .

• 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.

• Can you "call" another HTML file within an HTML file?
  4 projects | /r/webdev | 5 May 2022

  I would do this with Eleventy which is a powerful static site generator with support for html partials (partial is what I call your toolbar here). You would use the template language nunjucks which Eleventy comes with support for, or you can choose plain html too if you don't want the Nunjucks capabilities for logic like if/else, for loops, javascript injection of dynamic values in your html at site generation time, etc. This repo shows most of the techniques you could need and use: https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-base-blog
