Web hobbyist and creator of the 11ty Bundle at https://11tybundle.dev Brooklyn-born, New Jersey-raised, and educated in Florida and Los Angeles, I'm now retired and living in Northern California. Recently launched usvoting.info

I'm sitting on 9 blog posts 29 new sites and 3 releases of content for the next issue of the 11ty Bundle blog/newsletter. I'll try to get it out this week. Moving has been consuming my time. @11ty.dev

I completely rebuilt Autheona's website using @11ty.dev . The developer experience is awesome! I was able to structure a complex marketing site with very little effort, and the AI understands 11ty really well (GLM). Overall experience feels better than working with Next.js. #BuiltInPublic

Political spam texts are out of control. I got 17 of them just yesterday. We need to close the loophole that allows politicians to spam without consequences.

Been a while since I got to build a site from a comp. Was just lovely, little bit of flow state. Design tokens setup. gov.uk design system. Add in all the lovely CSS - clamp(), has:(), clip-path, grid - all wrapped up in 11ty. Mmmmmm.
