13 hours ago

The author started using Eleventy, a static site generator, in 2018 and has since built dozens of websites with it.
Eleventy was recently rebranded as 'Build Awesome' by Font Awesome, marking a shift in direction that the author does not align with.
The author values Eleventy for its simplicity and control, planning to continue using the current version without future updates.
Despite the rebranding, the core functionality of Eleventy remains unchanged, but the new direction focuses on corporate and feature-driven goals.
The author emphasizes the importance of minimizing external dependencies and plans to keep a permanent copy of Eleventy for future use.
Acknowledging the fast-paced tech industry, the author appreciates having used the same tool for nearly six years and respects the project's developer and community.
