Excellent nodejs static site generator. I use it to create eco-friendly websites with silex.me and strapi.io

@alex_hoyau Great project guys. Congratulations for creating 11ty. The showcase websites are really cool. Good luck with the launch

@alex_hoyau Would be interested in hearing about this setup, have you written any material relating to using Eleventy in combination with Silex and/or Strapi?

@c_louis I definitely should :)) I use a fork of Silex, which is available here https://github.com/lexoyo/stasti... (downloadable app and free online instance) But it is more of a POC even if we used it for all our websites (which you can see here https://internet2000.net/) I'm working on Silex v3 which will have this ability to create 11ty layouts by design Let me know if you have ideas or questions

We are using it, and it's really easy to work with, simply amazing.

I have been using eleventy for building multiple websites and it's definitely my favourite static site generator (and i have used plenty of them: hugo, jekyll, hexo, metalsmith, next.js, gatsby, docosaurus and even built a few custom ones myself!) What I love from eleventy is it's simplicity. It brings things back to what the web it is supposed to be, without pushing you to adopt any frontend technology like React or Vue or other technologies like GraphQL. The custom data model is very simple and yet extremely powerful and customisable. In summary eleventy excels for being simple to learn (you can master most of its functionalities in a few hours) yet extremely powerful. You feel like you are in control of the tool and not that the tool is forcing you down one particular path! Well done to Zach and the eleventy team for this gem! The future is bright for eleventy!

Absolutely my favourite SSG! Been using it on many sites in the past few years. Especially wonderful for personal sites and simple landing pages (but can be used in pretty much anything really) 😍

Nice Start! Could this be used as headless CMS for data sources like Formaloo or Google Sheets?

I'm surprised this excellent and rather universal tool has so few upwotes!

I’ve been using Jekyll for years. It seems the consensus online is that Eleventy is a lot better but so far I haven’t needed to switch to something else. Hope to give it a go sooner than later though! Any thoughts from someone who’s used both Jekyll and Eleventy?

It's awesome! Great work @zachleat and team! I have used 11ty to build my blog and the experience has been great so far! 11ty in action:- https://syntackle.live
