@zachleat Here's the write-up of the troubleshooting done. In the end, it's still JavaScript and does its own thing. Hope this all makes sense and helps others out too.

#11ty #NodeJS #eleventy #100DaysToOffload

Was feeling adventurous and updated my website to @11ty v4 alpha.

The great thing about most Eleventy updates: Unless you have some hyper-specialized thing going on, itโ€™s just a matter of bumping the version. No humongous migration guides to follow, no hours of fiddling with dependencies, and npm install doesnโ€™t take forever because it doesnโ€™t have to download half of npm.

It just worksโ„ข

#Eleventy #11ty

I've been playing around with streamlining documentation by pulling JSDoc comments straight into an #11ty website. I'll try and write it up once I get it to somewhere I'm a bit happier with.

For example, this page is partially generated based on the comments directly in the JavaScript code

https://gruber.r0b.io/postgres/

https://github.com/robb-j/gruber/blob/main/postgres/postgres-migrator.ts

It's pretty cool, and hopefully makes the documentation so much closer to edit when the code itself changes, Though I think there needs to be more curatability in it.

My "Chobble Template" Eleventy starter now has support for Menus - editable via PagesCMS

If you've got a cafe or restaurant, maybe check it out? https://example.chobble.com/menus/

You can clone the repo to build a site yourself, or contact me and I'll make one for you - with a 50% discount if your business is vegan (or an artist, coop, or charity)
