The modern web sucks. My band's website doesn't.
My band has a website. I made it using 1990s technology. And 2K20s technology. And I think it's pretty nice. In today's episode, I'll cover the @EleventyVideo static site generator, and how I adapted a design made on vintage hardware (using AOLPress on Windows 95!) to a modern workflow. Important links mentioned in the video: 🎸 The band's website: https://www.thestopbits.net 🎈 Eleventy (or 11ty as the cool kids call it): https://www.11ty.dev/ ▶️ Eleventy base blog starter template: https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-base... 🎉 Sophia Brandt wrote up a helpful article about deploying to GitHub Pages with Eleventy: https://www.rockyourcode.com/how-to-d... 🖥️ Homestar Runner's "Back to a Website" toon (which may have inspired this video): https://homestarrunner.com/toons/back... ⌨️ Source for the band's website: https://codeberg.org/vkc/thestopbits-...
