  1. Note from 26 October 2024

    My photography site is now built with #Eleventy v3, all JavaScript code is migrated to #ESM, and common features I use in all my Eleventy project are now provided by the #Pack11ty plugin.

    GitHub Pull Request showing 167 changed files with 3,632 additions and 23,478 deletions

    Doesn't “3,632 additions and 23,478 deletions” sound like a big improvement?

    Much less specific code to maintain in the future! 🥳

  2. Note from 19 October 2024

    Looks like I finaly managed to migrate #Pack11ty, my plugin and template/starter for #Eleventy to v3! 🥳

    Including replacing all CJS with #ESM, the most difficult part.

    Preview: https://11ty3--pack11ty.netlify.app/

    Code in branches 11ty3:

    I will now improve the docs, before releasing stable versions.

  3. Note from 16 September 2024

    I have to admit that I'm often sad when I read “Font Awesome” in the code of projects I'm auditing for performance. A fairly heavy font is often loaded to display a few icons, whereas we've known for a long time that SVG is generally more suitable.

    But the arrival of Web Awesome, and my enduring admiration for @zachleat@zachleat.com and @leaverou@front-end.social (and their creations) means that their arrival at Font Awesome may well change my epidermal reaction to the name.

    Bravo!

    Alex […] shares how using CloudCannon for client sites boosts performance and efficiency 🚀

    I love #CloudCannon's efficiency. 👍

    But with an SSG, #WebPerf depends on the way you build pages. Good SSGs — as #Eleventy — don't force anything so performance is really just the result of developer's work.

    The CMS should have no impact. 🤷‍♂️

  5. Note from 31 May 2024

    Please, please, please… check on the sites you build that using Command #fn1" id="fnref1">[1] + click #fn2" id="fnref2">[2] always opens links in a new tab, even if you used some JavaScript to build a dumb Web link!

    I see too many sites where Cmd + click opens the link in the current tab, so when browsing a list of links, if I want to open them in new tabs (for example to compare products), I need to use right click and then select the "open link in a new tab" option, for each link.

    Really cumbersome! 😡


    1. Command on a Mac, but I guess Control on Windows and Linux? #fnref1" class="footnote-backref">↩︎

    2. Check the click both with mouses and trackpads! #fnref2" class="footnote-backref">↩︎
