New by me: This Week’s Weekly Notes are up.

It was a full-speed-ahead kind of week.

Shipping Fast and Catching My Breath (Week 15, 2026)

A week of launches, updates, and finally getting long-running projects out the door, balanced by a midweek slowdown and a quieter weekend to recover.

Speaking of which:

I made the executive decision to work on `baseline` today. Still no package release but getting closer, I promise!

Today was some codebase work, local repo is clean and pushed. I'll let my mood decide tonight what the next open loop is.

Found a gap in the afternoon, and am continuing now with baseline work. Somewhat unusual for me but decided to branch out for a focused `assets-*` refactor.

Also after some internal debate I decided to take a much more opinionated stance on site config. The reasons are:
- the plugin is mainly supporting my workflow atm.
- it is more in line with the educational side of the project.
- supporting "esoteric" configs is a headache I can do without.

「 The truth is, there has been no successful CMS for static-site generators because the only people that give a fuck about creating static sites would much prefer to use a (free and local) IDE and a terminal 」

The End of Eleventy

Build Awesome is a rebrand of 11ty/Eleventy, backed by a successful $40k Kickstarter. But this attempt to monetize static site generators repeats the same mistakes that killed Gatsby and Stackbit—and misunderstands who actually builds static sites.

Aside: what javascript testing library would you recommend for the eleventy-plugin-baseline code? I'm not versed in the options.

Code in `_baseline` directory:

I just released Retro Garden, a new open source Eleventy theme that mixes IndieWeb publishing habits with playful early-web energy.

It includes WebC components, RSS + JSON feeds, OG image generation, palette switching, read time, share links, Tailwind 4, and accessible defaults.

I wrote a short launch post here:

Introducing Retro Garden, My New Eleventy Starter Theme

Retro Garden is my new Eleventy starter theme built for personal sites that want a little dial-up-era personality without giving up modern publishing features.
