This Eleventy starter is based on Andy Bell’s talk ‘Be the browser’s mentor, not its micromanager’ and it’s companion website buildexcellentwebsit.es.
In his words, it’s about hinting the browser rather than micromanaging it, using progressive enhancement, CSS layout, fluid type & spacing, as well as modern CSS features.
This way we can shape frontends that look good to everyone, regardless of device, connection speed or context.
I'm showing the last 4 blog posts, but there might be more!
We are using Tailwinds "engine" to generate utility classes on demand, based on our design tokens.
To avoid overloading this base with too many subtleties, I store special features in separate branches that (usually) keep up with the main branch.
When you share your blog posts, a thumbnail image might appear. This starter generates these images for your blog posts automatically.
A lot of markdown packages are installed to help you write your posts. All presets are personal preference.
