Or, if you have an old-school shared hosting with an FTP server, you could just build your site after creating an article and re-uploading the site each time!

With the templating, you won't need to worry about changing things manually on every page, that should be handled automatically if set up properly, just like a regular CMS.

I haven't actually used 11ty before but I've done a few static sites with other tools (they're not even worth mentioning 😅). Using Markdown is not a bad way to go, but yeah you'll need to commit each new article to Git and have a pipeline that re-builds your site with the new articles.

You can save a lot of money too! Being a static site generator, you can host it anywhere, even for free on Cloudflare Pages for example. Coming up with a good pipeline for creating a publishing blog posts will come with a bit more legwork tho

My eternal side project, a web-based, offline-first podcast client. Built with @nuxt.com, using @tinybase.bsky.social and Yjs for cross-device sync

I have tried many 😅 but the one I've settled on is @tinybase.bsky.social, lots of backend storage options and sync protocols. I have found pairing it with Yjs and Hocus Pocus (a Yjs server) gives me the best results with the most flexibility. Example, web-based podcast player: podrain.app

I am jealous of East-coasters traveling west, they get a couple free hours in the morning to sleep in, or be an early bird without really trying 😒

As a Vue-head myself, I agree 😞 I have a bunch of side projects that I was able to convert pretty easily, but I also didn't use very many Vue-specific libraries that depended on the deep internals of the framework, luckily. It definitely fragmented the ecosystem.

This has been quite a journey, but I'm ready to share a side project that has been cooking for years... a purely web-based podcast client! Introducing Podrain. Built with @nuxt.com, @tinybase.bsky.social, @tur.so, @cloudflare.social and many other wonderful tools. Start using it at podrain.app

Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories" still gives me chills after all these years. Such a masterpiece. open.spotify.com/album/4m2880...

Pulling the business name from your state's Secretary of State website or some other government-backed source where all the business names are all-caps?

I've run into this limitation with a different DB client. I haven't pursued it, but it's good to know I'm not the only one with this issue :D Chat-gippity says it's likely an issue with Linux filesystem permissions on the server preventing writes from a remote client

Deno and Hono were perfect for this because I just installed Deno on the server Factorio is running on, and created a single app.ts file with everything needed for running server commands, copying files, and serving the web app itself. Hard to imagine doing this so quickly with any other stack.

I host a Factorio server for my friends, but they keep destroying stuff when I'm not playing with them and keep asking me to reset the server 🙄 Well, no more! I created a quick web app with @deno.land and #honojs to restore an autosave of their choosing. And they can download the save files too!

Might be a fun opportunity to hack on the client and add that feature in!

Wow, you must be really serious because I've never seen you use capital letters before!

Maybe the Laravel starter pack? bsky.app/starter-pack... My method has been "I hope this person is on Bluesky, lemme check. Oh sweet"
