Have other web devs noticed a downturn in projects recently? I have. At the start of the year things started feeling a bit off, but the last few weeks I'm seeing very little in the way of leads for both WP and Shopify.

I can understand Shopify to an extent, it's focused around ecommerce and the majority of clients starting out are small or even one person, with a small budget.

There is a lot of uncertainty in the world right now and add to it that AI is becoming a poor alternative for real developers.

So, if anyone (agencies, other freelancers or clients) has any openings, leads or just genuine interest please get in touch: https://alanquirk.com. I am very much open to new projects and long term development relationships, and hopefully things will turn around for us all.

It took forever — I suppose that's what you get when you work with Italians 😉 — but I have finally launched my friend's restaurant website [1], which I built using Eleventy.

https://prikbord.page was just launched!

Super iper cool federated calendar for events in Rotterdam (and potentially beyond!) built with @11ty on top of @gancio, including a print function powered by @pagedjs ❤️‍🔥

Still WIP but already working (wonderfully) at @relay 👀

All the code is 100% Free Software, available at https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/prikbord.page 💕

edit: solved!

I don't suppose anybody on here might have any advice for how to get LaTeX (or psuedo-LaTeX) syntax to work on an 11ty site? I wanna be able to put the LaTeX into my Markdown documents. My current issue is that all the existing methods online convert the md first and the LaTeX second, leading to things like:

`a_n + a_{n+1}` getting converted to `a<em>n + a</em>{n+1}` before the LaTeX converter can get around to it.

Boosts appreciated!

Shipped in the dead of night: a page about what's left of a web document when you strip away everything around it.

Over the past 6–10 months or so (it’s hard to tell exactly), I got inspired by @veronica and built a static site using @11ty. Since I’m not a native speaker of web development, it was an uphill battle at times, but it was so rewarding in the end. I did need to make use of a community template as a framework, and I settled on Brewventy by @cyberseckyle. I am thankful to be able to stand on the shoulders of these giants. And, as is customary for a new blog owner, I had to write a blog post about it!

P.S. I’m still new to this “social media” thing, so I don’t know if it’s cool to @ random people on the internet (sorry).

I'm looking for a simple way to send emails via a web form on a static website built with Eleventy without having to use a third-party service. If anyone has any suggestions or can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks in advance 🙏

Wrote a long-form about-page for (Eleventy) Baseline.

It came out of trying to work out who this project is for and what to actually say. The audience question keeps resurfacing in discussions.

The docs cover what Baseline is and how to use it, but they’re not shaped for the “why” story.

So I tried writing something a bit different.
