I wanted to make this a reveal in a blog post but I have NOT the spoons for that today 
So instead y'all are gonna get a low energy toot from me.
I worked more on the design today, and getting #11tyCMS to recognise the directory structure of a #11ty website and populate the collections list accordingly.
Just need to add saving, adding and deleting functionality and we'll be good to go for MVP status 
Watch this space for more updatessss!
The Eleventy data cascade is great:
You can have data on different “layers", for example, applying to an entire directory via JS or one file via Front Matter.
Eleventy merges these layers for you, including objects mapping to the same key.
I just created a map of string replacements for permalinks over different layers.
One central function uses the merged map to modify permalinks accordingly.
This is fancy stuff. I hope to write a detailed How-To in the future.

Here's a cheeky lil 11tyCMS reveal. I'm just talking about where I've got things at, and where I'm taking things next. I also talk about my confusion with how tf I'm going to make this scalable and adaptable to the variety of different configurations that people can make with their 11ty sites. Wish me luck!
Frick yea 
So, I have it so you can open a folder of a collection, it'll list it's posts. Once you've selected a file, it'll populate the markdown editor. It'll also retrieve the `gray-matter` metadata of the post.
Now to get saving working, and we'll have a very rudimentary prototype goin .
Next up will be getting it to dynamically look for collections and list them out and react accordingly. Probably gonna have to get on top of the design part first tho #11ty
Blog post incoming!
I've made a start. #11tyCMS is go.
I've made a resources document containing all the documentation for everything I dont know exactly how to do for what I need. So far so good.
I've got a vague idea of what the design should be in my head.
So I've make the electron app, and im coding all the functions on the Node side of things, I have a Markdown editor working, I just now need to get said editor reading and saving files. Watch this space, there will be a blog post! #11ty #indieweb #blog
Another little #webmapping project with #leaflet (mostly) finished and blogged

I'm not sure if hiking motivates me to poke around with #maps and data more than poking around with maps and data motivates me to go hiking.

Comment déployer son site statique #11ty depuis #Github vers #alwaysdata #blog
En quelques étapes pas trop pointues techniquement.
Gearing up with a post for the coming 2nd anniversary of the #11ty Bundle. Gathering notes on progress and generating some new data around the content. Should be fun.
Issue 71 - 11ty Meetup Apr 23, CMS developments in progress, Drafts are simpler, QR code curious?, Eleventy v3.1.0-alpha.1...And 4 releases, 19 posts, and 6 sites to see https://11tybundle.dev/blog/11ty-bundle-71/ #11ty @eleventy
https://thinkymeat.neocities.org/posts/11tycms/
Made a little post about my plans for making a lightweight, local first, serverless CMS for #11ty. Complete with code editor, plugin system and everything. Is it just a pipedream? Only spoons, time, energy and dopamine will tell 
@QueerMatters Good job! I too find #11ty pretty pleasant to work with. I have no graphics on my project and so it is just… instant load. It’s wild. And the developer experience is great!
Gotta say: my new #11ty #blog is really coming along. Quite happy with how it’s looking and DAMN is it fast to work with.
Like it’s taken me two days to have a more or less functional blog from scratch. Isn’t that wild?!
Anyway I think by this rate it’ll be ready next week! A step away from the algorithm internet thank god. I’m gonna be hosting Thoughts of Thinkymeat on #Neocities methinks.
I’ll keep yall posted
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. https://github.com/rkingett/myblog/blob/main/MakeNewPost.py #Eleventy #11ty #WebDev
Dzisiaj polecam Wam podróż przez historię internetu 
z #CyberCultural https://cybercultural.com
Można przeglądać po epokach:
- Pre-web (1960s-80s)
- Dot-com (1990-2003)
- Web 2.0 (2004-2012)
- Enshittocene (2013-2021)

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."

Przy okazji: strona oparta jest o #11ty
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 (https://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: https://ultreia.me/txt/date/2025-04-08/
I also cannot stress enough what a joy Eleventy is to work with.
I love Python and Django, but it's nice to have a simple (not the same as easy) solution for good old, plain HTML and CSS.
Bon d'ailleurs quand je me repencherai sur tout ça j'ai aussi sur ma todo deux trucs côté sites persos :
- mettre à jour mon carnet de note/digital garden vers la dernière version de #11ty, cleaner le code et le partager
- refaire le vieux thème de mon blog qui est si lourd et mal opti que ça surcharge mon serveur 
les cordonniers mal chaussés, tout ça...
Looking for CMS advice
Hey Web devs!
Do you have any suggestions, tips, opinions, dos, don’ts about headless CMSes?
I have a growing list of small/mid non-profits and collectives asking for my help to (re)make their website. I totally want to help, but I don’t have much time, especially considering that they generally have little or no funding—I would most definitely point them to @VillageOneCoop, otherwise.
Therefore, I want a super simple and replicable solution where I can copy-paste most of the code, while providing them with a stable, fast, and modern solution. I had a look at the Headless CMS section in the Jamstack website, but I need opinions from people who actually used some of that software already.
Needs
Nice to have
Absolutely not
Please, boost this and ask around! Links to videos, tutorials, and resources are welcome.
People whose perspective I would really value: @zachleat @harryfk @deno_land @jaredwhite @vanillaweb @stefan @mxbck @WeirdWriter @deadsuperhero (Sorry if I am spamming you!)
