@irreverentmike I like Astro but haven’t used it in production yet. I’ve been using Eleventy for a while but planning to use Astro for a personal project in the near future.

@andrew I’ve been way more active on threads than here. Wish there was a way to connect my accounts. But it is cool to be able to follow my threads account here. Doesn’t look like it works both ways yet though.

@uncenter @codefoodpixels @eleventy thanks this is what we’re doing. We built a CMS on another site that controls all the data for all these sites and we have a daily CRON job that triggers the build hook every morning.

@phoopee3 so we’re technically using WordPress as a headless CMS but it’s just a standard install. We’re forcing a a login screen so there’s no homepage on the WordPress install. We made a custom post type for each template design. Those have custom fields for each of the content fields/images. Each post gets pushed to an end point with JSON data for all of the fields. Eleventy has a fetch API to pull that feed into the site then we use Nunjucks for templating to add the data to the fields. For blog posts we’re using the standard WordPress posts and each category pushes the title, content (as HTML), featured image URL, and featured image alt tag as a JSON object in the end point. The categories are for each of the sites by name so when you select the category for that name that post will go to the correct feed. Then Eleventy can create pages from a template based on the data in that feed.

@eleventy can’t wait to upgrade my sites. Never thought 11ty could be even lighter than it already is. Honestly it was already close to perfect but now sounds like it’s even closer.
