Join the Indie Web with Eleventy and Webmentions
Webmentions are an exciting standard which help enable the IndieWeb. We can own our own content, hosted on our own domains, without sacrificing social connection and replies with other people! Eleventy is JavaScript-based static site generator that requires no client-side JavaScript, making it performant by default.
In this talk, I'll walk through both setting up a new Eleventy site from scratch and enabling Twitter Webmentions. You must understand HTML and JavaScript as well as using the command line, running npm installs, and running npm scripts to get the most out of this talk.
