Not a day goes by when I work on my website that I don't wish for a simpler setup. No SSG. No npm. No tooling. Just simple HTML with partials imports, vanilla CSS, and whatever vanilla JS is necessary for enhancements.

I just want the HTML partials imports. Why don't we have them already?!

Actually, the main reason I feel uninspired to work on it (I haven't done so since I migrated to 11ty three years ago) is *because* of the tooling I need to use.

I don't want dependencies. I don't want tools with breaking updates. I just want a simple website. 🥹

@SaraSoueidan Apologies if you’re not looking for recommendations, and feel free to disregard, but if you haven’t tried CodeKit (Mac only) I heartily recommend it. I think it’ll do everything you’re looking for. I’ve loved it for years for saving me from tooling and config files.

Anyway, that’s all. Thanks for all the work you do for the community🙂

CodeKit - THE Mac App for Web Developers

CodeKit is a Mac app that makes it easy to use modern web development tools like npm, Babel, Sass, JavaScript bundling, image optimization, and ESLint.

@JoshuaHamilton I installed Codekit months ago but totally forgot about it! I do appreciate the reminder!! 😅🤍
