YAY! My #Python is improving! I made this thing that makes a new @eleventy for me based off templates. Any chance Eleventy will have a built in new post creation thing in the future? I know it makes absolutely zero assumptions about your project but this is the most time consuming part for me and I imagine I'm not alone in this thinking. github.com/rkingett/myblog/blo #Eleventy #11ty #WebDev

I've had a statuslog section on my now page (reillyspitzfaden.com/now/) for a while, and I added it to my homepage as well (reillyspitzfaden.com/#homepage).

The especially nice part is that I now have a script (github.com/reillypascal/person) so I can simply type `./status` in the terminal, write the status text in the resulting .md file that pops open, and then commit/push!

I've seen some IndieWeb people (e.g., @binarydigit) do something similar via one of omg.lol's tools (home.omg.lol/info/statuslog) and liked it, but I wanted to see if I could DIY it just for the heck of it. Very happy with how easy the result is!

🚀 Dzisiaj polecam Wam podróż przez historię internetu 🌐 z #CyberCultural cybercultural.com

Można przeglądać po epokach:

- Pre-web (1960s-80s)
- Dot-com (1990-2003)
- Web 2.0 (2004-2012)
- Enshittocene (2013-2021)

lub po latach:
cybercultural.com/year/

Fajnie sobie przypomnieć, jak to wyglądało przed zgównieniem 😉

"Cybercultural to kronika historii Internetu i jego wpływu na kulturę, od ery przedinternetowej do boomu dot-comów, Web 2.0 i nie tylko. Napisany przez pionierskiego blogera technologicznego Richarda MacManusa."

Any recommendations from the #11ty community about ESLint plugins? I know React, Vue, and other frameworks have their own plugin configurations, is there a similarly common one for 11ty?

I found this cool option to keep a post as a draft in my Eleventy site: 11ty.dev/docs/config-preproces

I'd been wanting a way to view posts on a local dev server, but leave them out of my published site, and now all I have to do is add `draft: true` to the YAML frontmatter on a post and then it won't publish except on a dev server. Nice!

Introducing @obsidian to Mastodon. A very early stage plugin to post arbitrary notes from your vault to your Mastodon instance. Right now, you still have to clone the Git repo, do some magic (it's all explained in the README) and super easy, and move the folder into your .plugins directory (also explained). But it should mostly work, for everything else please let me know.

This works really well with my Python script to fetch Mastodon posts into your Daily Note (gitea.com/medic/obsidian) and with my #11ty setup to pull in likes, reposts, and responses from Mastodon into your blog (you can see that one on this post).

You can see the #11ty blog integration here: ultreia.me/txt/date/2025-04-08

I'm far from this stage, but just to toss it out there: does/can #11ty WebC pre-render Stencil web components, so that people viewing my site don't need JavaScript for, say, a link button to render?
