Just a little update in video form too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWqP...

So much gratitude to @sia.codes for all the hard work on the excellent 11tymeetup.dev.

11ty friends, I'm sad to announce that after nearly 5 years and 30 episodes, the 11ty Meetup is coming to an end. 🎈🐁

I've been contemplating this for a while and has nothing to do with Build Awesome. I need more time for my offline artistic pursuits.

#11ty

yeah, good shout!

good question!

1. We’ll continue to support *.11ty.js
2. `eleventyConfig` is just a local var so you could put `nextJsConfig` there if you wanted 😜
3. For some of the generic config names we’ll probably add something like `config.excludeFromCollections` (tbd) and keep supporting the previous names

We’re Pressing Pause on our Kickstarter News and information from Font Awesome – the internet’s favorite icon set; mixed with musings and nerdery from the team behind it.

Whew. What a week. We have some hard but important news to share about the Kickstarter: blog.fontawesome.com/pausing-kick...

We’ll be back soon!

Thank you Matthias!!

thank you Ryan!

Amazing! Congrats, @zachleat.com! 🎉 Now I'm just thinking about all the awesome future *possum*bilities

You’re the original *.11ty.js pioneer, Reuben!

As an early adopter of @11ty.dev, I couldn’t be happier for @zachleat.com and that he and the folks at @fontawesome.com have imagined securing the future of the project in such a mutually beneficial way. #Congratulations

personally I have heard that 11ty was good

North Bay Python 2026 Schedule, talks and talk submissions for North Bay Python 2026

It's official, I'll be giving a talk at North Bay Python in April. If you scroll way down this page you can see what my talk is about. Got 11ty?


@11ty.dev

Thank you Keenan!

This is so cool to see. Huge congrats to @zachleat.com, @11ty.dev, and @fontawesome.com for the incredible launch!

Just sayin', they hit their initial goal but what all y'all want is for them to hit their $200K stretch goal - newsletter and Stripe integration. You could build anything your web dev heart desires specific to the site's needs and not rely on a monolithic CMS.

Really appreciate you, Bob!

a ha, yeah I see what you mean. All of the “Get Started” CTAs take you to account login. I’ll pass that along!

Absolutely!

No, absolutely not. Build Awesome will continue to be free and open source!

Also happy to take feedback on how you think Web Awesome could improve! I know a few folks over there on that team 😀

Incredible. Y’all are *amazing*
