My website at troz.net is down right now. I made the switch to Eleventy and the DNS change is propagating.

Changing to Eleventy was fun - once the site is up again, I'll post about my experiences doing the migration from Hugo.

@troz looking forward to read about this! What prompted you to switch, and what was the most fun? :)

@ctietze It's live now - their 48 hours until propagation was thankfully less than 4 minutes.

Recent Hugo updates broke the theme I was using and I didn't know enough about it to fix it. Now I feel like I am in total control of every aspect. The amazing bit was when I used AI to augment my terrible CSS skills!

@troz Ah yes, maintenance problems when the software changes. Ugh!

I've avoided looking at 11ty because I don't want to work with anything node-related. It's stupid, but I can't help it :) Am using Nanoc (Ruby) for, what now, 12 years or so?

Seriously thinking about writing HTML by hand again. 🙈

I hear about how confusing CSS is more and more from fellow Swift devs, so: if you have CSS questions, ask any time. I consider myself fluent and am happy to help :)

@ctietze @troz modern CSS is pretty incredible

Also has too many obscure features but you don’t need to know or use them all

I’ve been doing web stuff since 1996 or so, and the web platform is great

@troz wry nice! And it looks like you’re using Pagefind for search, which I love. Looking forward to your posts.

@bobmonsour Yes! Pagefind is amazing and so easy to set up.

@troz Congrats on the refactor! In a bit surprised that you didn’t go with a Swift SSG. By the way, the menu on mobile is rather hard to read.

@kevinrenskers Thanks for the report. Dark mode isn’t being applied there for some reason but I’ll check it out tomorrow.

As for not using Swift, I found a lot more resources and community engagement for platforms like Eleventy. Plus I’m used to HTML/CSS/JS from web dev work.

@troz yeah eleventy is pretty huge. Seems like a good choice.
