i really respect that #11tyconf conf had speaker honorariums, despite being a free event.

it's super important for conferences to compensate all speakers, who spend dozens (sometimes hundreds) of hours preparing their talks.

personally, i chose to have my honorarium be donated to open source projects that i think need it more than me (namely @openwebdocs, @servo, @OddBird, and @vite)

Ever since @pauleveritt's #11tyConf talk and tutorial series, I've been tinkering to take some of those ideas a couple of steps further.

The first step is adding front matter validation to TSX layouts in #Eleventy 3 using #Zod.

Received this earlier today - just in time to go into my packing for Beyond Tellerrand, perfect!

@btconf @eleventy #11tyConf

Catching up on @dansinker's #11tyConf talk and this just jumped out at me:

> Something that's marked with the patina of age, and the utility of a work-a-day website.

I like that. I'm not sure exactly how a website has patina but equally I think I could tell you, when I come across one that does. I also like the idea of a work a day website. Utilitarian, does the job for maybe a small company, just to establish their presence on the web.

Mmm. Onward.

As promised my highlights from the #11tyconf:

Very good way to spend my Thursday and I enjoyed all of the talks!

I didn't recap all of them, just a few but rest assured I learned a bunch of things from every single one of the presenters.

That #11tyConf today was terrific! I’m 🫰close to getting cultured nyc off WP, then one more site and goodbye WP forever!

Fun fact, I’ve had a personal web site continuously since 1994.

It was a great symposium put on by the 11ty group. Thank you again for everyone involved and who shared.

Hey @henry just saw your talk at #11tyConf, loving the energy! 🔥🔥🔥

Too bad you only had 11 minutes, I'm currently exploring #WebMentions and would've loved to hear about it more in-depth. Did you already blog about this, by any chance?

To everyone else, here's the talk I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/live/iLxJ6PtuF9M?si=qYE7qhAIbnAO92yk&t=8534

What did you use for your slides? For a moment I thought #iaPresenter 🤔

Catching up with the #11tyConf this morning, UK time (time zone and family responsibilities meant I didn't attend live). Looks like it was a large and active audience, judging by the chat on YouTube. I thought I'd add my 2 cents to the 'how did you get to 11ty' topic. For me it was:

HTML > Geocities-like apps (can't recall which ones) > Radio Userland > Movable Type > WordPress > Hugo > Eleventy

(not counting code tools like Dreamweaver, FrontPage, VSCode, etc)

I'm still hyped about everything that happened at #11tyconf. The talks were so great, and I'm once again keen to try out @eleventy in new ways.

Especially interested to try out the new ‘Eleventy Transform' option within the Eleventy Image plugin, allowing you to transform any `<img>` automatically into something more performant https://www.11ty.dev/docs/plugins/image/#eleventy-transform

We did it!

#11tyConf has wrapped and I am so humbled by the response to this event. The incredible speakers, the incredible audience, the incredible organizers — y’all are amazing.

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of this community.

There was an interesting #accessibility question in the #11tyConf chat I wanted to surface.

Say your site styles are responding to the `prefers-contrast: less` media query. Must they still conform to the relevant 4.5:1 and 3:1 contrast ratios when the media query is active?

really appreciate that #11tyconf had quality live captions and that it worked so smoothly with youtube

this should be standard practice for conferences

Awesome talk - made me realise I now know only a tiny part of the original CSS and need to catch up!

Just at the end of #11tyConf I managed to implement a self-sorting custom collection for an events list on the Helsinki Pedestrians' Association's website (https://jalankulkijat.fi).

Here is the blog post on how I did it: https://samimaatta.fi/en/a-custom-collection-to-sort-events-with-eleventy/.

I learnt a whole bunch with that #11ty Conference, woo 🥳

That was great, hoping there will be another in the future!

I've got a few talks to catch up on as I had to attend something else in the middle - but looking forward to type up some notes and get to learning.

Such a good vibe, thanks to everyone involved 💚

#11tyConf

Really enjoyed the virtual #11tyconf today. Thanks to @mikeneu and @zachleat for organizing, and to all the presenters.

The talk from @dansinker on Question Mark, Ohio, was a standout. Beyond the substantial artistic value of the work, as an artifact of its construction it also ends up presenting a vision of what it would be to live in a town where everyone mostly used #smallweb sites.

Live now — Sara Joy @sarajw is speaking at 11ty Conference!

Light mode versus Dark mode

It doesn’t have to be this way. Some people have very real physical reasons to need one mode over another. The rest of us are also allowed to have our favourites, or might prefer light mode in some situations and dark in others.
