@nileane The #11ty discord server has some great helpers available. https://www.11ty.dev/blog/discord/ and there's this thing that I built with a bunch of eleventy resources: https://11tybundle.dev

Does anyone have a strategy for posting to an eleventy site from your phone? I'm going on vacation soon, and want to share photos there while traveling.

MY INTRODUCTION IN FINNISH BELOW!

#esittely
Morienttes kaikille!

Tajusinpa tuos, että mulla ei ole esittelyä, joten täältä pesee!

Oon 34-vuotias, mulla on ihana vaimo ja asutaan Keski-Suomessa. Opiskelen hermolomalla yliopistossa ja teen sivutoimisesti IT-hommia konsulttina sote-alan yrityksessä ja freelancerina.

Olen muuttanut Suomeen vuonna 2001 Tanskasta. Äiti on suomalainen, isä oli intialainen. Suomi on siis mun toinen kieli ja nykyään myöskin mun vahvin kieli englannin lisäksi. Tulen yrittäjäperheestä, joka varmaan selittää miksi mulla on #ADHD ja olen kiinnostunut vähän kaikesta, mutten saa mitää tehtyä :--D

Sydäntä lähellä on #videopelit, #kahvi, #fuusiojatsi, #musiikintuotanto, #rytmipelit ja #koodaaminen.

En oo kummonen koodari, töissä keskityn enemmän digitaalisiin prosesseihin, videotuotantoon ja satunnaiseen O365-tukeen ja Wordpressin tunkkaukseen. Mut on sitä muutama pienempi koodiprojekti tullut tehtyä omaan ja työkavereiden käyttöön.

Vapaa-ajalla koodailen vähän enemmän. Videopelejä on tullut tehtyä kavereiden kanssa game jameihin ja nettisivuja aika paljon muutenkin mm. #11ty:llä.

Keräilen vinyyleitä ja CD-levyjä. Viime vuosina varsinkin Casiopea:n tuotanto ja japanilainen fuusiojatsi on uponnut hyvin. Toisaalta, vihaan saksofonia, joka rajaa aika tehokkaasti muuten erinomaisia bändejä pois.

Olen harrastanut erikoiskahveja about vuodesta 2012 ja tykkään testailla uusia paahtimoita. Olen muutaman kerran myös saanut paahtaa kahvia. Kotoa löytyy Rancillio Silvia, pari kahvimyllyä ja tusina manuaalisia uuttolaitteita (mm. Chemex, V60 ja Aeropress).

Vaimon kanssa pelaillaan aika paljon #Overwatch ja satunnaisesti kivoja co-op pelejä kuten #Trine-sarjaa. #FinalFantasy, #HollowKnight, #Silksong, #Horizon, #Hades, #Balatro, #BombRushCyberfunk, #OriAndTheBlindForest ja #Tetris ovat myös omaan mieleen.

Pelailen kanssa ahkerasti tanssipelejä ja olen niissä ihan hyvä. Pelasin aktiivisesti In The Groovia vuosina 2005-2012 ja pitkän tauon jälkeen aloitin uudestaan kesällä 2025. Olen vuoden 2009 Suomen A-tason mestari.

Semmonen esittely! Jos jäi kysymyksiä tai joku aihe kiinnostaa tai haluaa muute vaa höpistä niin mulle saa aina iskeä viestiä!

If you’ve wanted to build a little website and have considered @11ty (or another static site generator), what have been the things — little or large — that didn’t make sense, felt needlessly complicated, have struggled to get working, or because of which you abandoned the project? Feel free to respond here / DM / email (found on my personal website)

Pondering a simple starter kit / education material to cover the basics. #11ty

#introduction
Hey everyone!

I just realized I don’t actually have an intro here, so here we go!

I’m 34 years old, I’ve got a wonderful wife, and we live in Central Finland.

I’m currently spending time at university as a form of mental health break and do IT work on the side. Both as a consultant for a healthcare-sector company and as a freelancer.

I moved to Finland in 2001 from Denmark. My mom is Finnish, my dad was Indian. So Finnish is technically my second language, but these days it’s actually my strongest one alongside English. I come from an entrepreneurial family, which probably explains why I have #ADHD and am interested in a bit of everything, but don’t really get anything done :--D

Things close to my heart include #videogames, #coffee, #fusionjazz, #musicproduction, #rhythmgames, and #coding.

I’m not exactly a great programmer. At work I focus more on digital processes, video production, occasional O365 support, and poking around in WordPress. That said, I’ve built a few smaller coding projects for myself and coworkers.

In my free time, I code a bit more seriously. I’ve made video games with friends for game jams, and I’ve built quite a lot of websites over the years, including with #11ty.

I collect vinyl and CDs. In recent years especially Casiopea and Japanese fusion jazz have really clicked with me. On the other hand... I hate the saxophone, which unfortunately rules out a lot of otherwise excellent bands.

I’ve been into specialty coffee since around 2012 and love trying new roasteries. I’ve also had the chance to roast coffee myself a couple of times. At home I’ve got a Rancilio Silvia, a couple of grinders, and about a dozen manual brewing devices (Chemex, V60, Aeropress, etc.).

My wife and I play a lot of #Overwatch together, and occasionally fun co-op games like the #Trine series. I’m also really into #FinalFantasy, #HollowKnight, #Silksong, #Horizon, #Hades, #Balatro, #BombRushCyberfunk, #OriAndTheBlindForest, and #Tetris.

I also play dance games quite actively and I’m rather good at them. I played In The Groove competitively from 2005 to 2012, and after a long break I started again in summer 2025. I’m the Finnish A-class champion of 2009.

That’s about it! If you’ve got questions, want to talk about any of this, or just feel like chatting, feel free to message me anytime!

I want to help a friend who makes art in #blender to move from #pinterest to his own website. Is there any ready-made #html template for media gallery with tiles (like pinterest) where you can click on each image/video and see it's details?
If not, I'll code it myself, but it seems like a pretty common usecase. #css #11ty

@lucaslove @pirijan yess! I also use it for the flowvi.be website - intuitive and very easy to extend #11ty

I've read a few people writing recently about how in the transition to static sites as the go-to for personal blogs (at least among a certain set, which certainly includes me) as having the overlooked side effect of no more comments on blogs, and how that was actually a fairly big loss.

I'm feeling it tbh - the people who respond to my blog posts here on mastodon are great, don't get me wrong, but almost none of them are the people I know from my IRL communities. Since I don't post them on facebook or instagram (and those platforms wouldn't necessarily surface my posts to friends anyways), I don't usually get any interactions with people not on fedi to my writing on my blog.

I like tinkering with my #11ty site sometimes, but setting up comments sounds like a lot of work.. I'm not even sure what folks are doing to make comments happen on a static site. Maybe I should just migrate to Ghost or something? Less fun and less dev culture cred, but perhaps a more quickly working solution to have comments on posts I write. Plus email notifications built in- I set up a Buttondown list that I keep forgetting to actually send to when I have a new post.

Issue 81 - 11ty Meetup recap, Zach secures Eleventy, Another v4 alpha emerges, Zach forks Nunjucks, Quesby arrives...And 9 releases, 15 posts and 18 sites to see https://11tybundle.dev/blog/11ty-bundle-81/ #11ty @eleventy @zachleat

Added a little snow to my site to cool down the servers.

You can too by checking this guide. I’m using the snow-fall component from @zachleat on my #Eleventy site.
