Development
This site is built using Eleventy (11ty), hosted on Netlify, the content and data is pulled from Contentful, Spotify, last.fm, and GitHub.
The Source Code is hosted on GitHub.
- The The A11Y Project inspired me to try Eleventy, and provided excellent advice.
- I am using the CUBE CSS methodology for all the styling.
- I was also inspired by SmolCSS. The minimal snippets are an excellent example that CSS is an art form.
- I combined This tutorial in the Eleventy docs with PostCSS for a simple, extendable style pipeline.
- The Eleventy RSS plugin avoided lots of RSS headaches.
- Piccalilli wrote a simple tutorial on outputting JSON from Eleventy.
- I was also helped along the way by tea-stack and eleventyone.
- I was also heavily insipred by Aleksandr Hovhannisyan when I was working how to build sidenotes.
- Max Kohler wrote an excellent guide to implementing per-post commit logs
Typography
My typographic system is made up of:
- Blanco from Foster Type is used as body copy, and some headings.
- Signifier from Klim is used for larger headings.
- Pitch from Klim is used for smaller text, and data.
This site has formerly used:
- GT America Extended from Grilli Type was used for larger headings.
