Time to scrap my over-engineered, dusty sanity.io blog for a lighter weight 11ty setup! Maybe even just a static page to start.
If folks have pro-tips or common traps to avoid, I'm all ears!
@ryan def check out WebC and start with JS frontmatter. both have a few quirks i’ve had to figure out along the way, but worth the time and effort!
@d3v1an7 my eyes glossed past WebC and I'm pretty excited to check it out now! Diving further into Web Components in general is on my to-do list!
@ryan i did a bit of web dev through the jquery days, then other stuff while react took hold. i kept trying to understand react, because components and props seemed cool, but simple questions like 'why does create-react-app require like 20 packages and what is a babel' were met with 'it doesn't matter, just do the npm install and everything is fine' which i couldn't seem to get past.
so in that context, coming back into web dev a few years back, picking up 11ty and webc, and working reallllly close to the html feels so so so good. components and props without all the other rubbish :)
the lovely thing with 11ty and webc is that you can choose to keep the web component as-is, or just have it build out as html. it's just so nice to work with.
anyway, thx for listening to my ted talk haha
