Keenan’s “Alarmingly Concise” Summary of How They Built Their Site
🔗 Keenan’s “Alarmingly Concise” Summary of How They Built Their Site
In true Keenan fashion this is a long read, but it's fantastic. They go into great detail on the trials and tribulations of building a new Eleventy site while possessing very little development experience.
First off, I wanna give massive props to Keenan for getting their site online. Learning HTML, CSS, Eleventy, VSCode AND Git/GitHub all in one hit is no small feat.
Granted, Keenan already had some HTML/CSS knowledge, but even so, that's a long list of shit to learn to get a new site off the ground. Huge respect.
A lot of what Keenan wrote resonated with me from when I was learning Jekyll and Kirby. At the start I was pissing in the wind and pretty much making shit up as I went along -- like Keenan -- with help from the community, those puzzle pieces fell into place eventually, and I now know enough about both platforms to be dangerous. 🎉
Go get a coffee, turn off your emails, and spend 10 minutes reading this one. It's fantastic.
