@cferdinandi seeing your talk at #11tyConf made clear what a great teacher you are, so I think that’d be great content! That said, I don’t generally sit and watch coding videos, so maybe I wouldn’t be in the audience most of the time.
Full time Eleventy Weekly Update №1:
Working on `11ty/eleventy` (core) this past week, long overdue issue triage.
Notable improvements to custom template syntaxes and removing a few `addExtension` limitations.
Working on official TypeScript, MDX, and JSX template syntax pages on the docs 
inspired by @pauleveritt’s #11tyConf talk. 
Closed 24 issues on `11ty/eleventy`. Total count reduced from 488 to 466.
Finally got my #11tyConf swag. They were stuck in the customs (because of me) until now.
Published my #11tyConf talk on my web site (as one does):
All of the #11tyConf talk videos are now published on YouTube (and in a playlist): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwhCq3ZFGOGgetCSWisU2pkl9AFwQVxWJ
(Each talk page on the conf.11ty.dev web site has a link to the respective video too)
ran across some old brainstorming notes for the name of the conference and laughed at one of the ideas:
This conference could have been an email

New blog post: An organizer’s retrospective on the 11ty Conference

A small look at what goes into organizing an inaugural online conference, including a detailed budget rundown.
Ever since @pauleveritt's #11tyConf talk and tutorial series, I've been tinkering to take some of those ideas a couple of steps further.
The first step is adding front matter validation to TSX layouts in #Eleventy 3 using #Zod.

Not sure how many people read to the end of articles these days, but I have to say I was quite pleased with my final paragraph ;)
"Perhaps it’s that feeling of being subversive — kicking against the platform pricks — and going back to our roots as a web developer community that has led to the Eleventy Renaissance. All I can say is: vive la résistance!"
Eleventy is an act of rebellion against the dark forces driving today’s internet, said its creator @zachleat at #11tyConf. Also at the lively event, we discovered that @eleventy does scale! https://thenewstack.io/static-sites-do-scale-eleventy-vs-next-js-at-11ty-event/ #WebDev
Only 44 to go!
I use @andycarolan's avatar of me a lot - even for my speaker listing for @eleventy's #11tyConf. He's good! Follow!
Catching up on #11tyConf. So many great talks. Lots of inspiration.
@skinnylatte's talk really resonated - about making things easier for non-devs to build fun things on the web, and harking back to the Geocities days when it was fun and easy to build a site, but you could still be creative and play with the html.
Catching up on @dansinker's #11tyConf talk and this just jumped out at me:
> Something that's marked with the patina of age, and the utility of a work-a-day website.
I like that. I'm not sure exactly how a website has patina but equally I think I could tell you, when I come across one that does. I also like the idea of a work a day website. Utilitarian, does the job for maybe a small company, just to establish their presence on the web.
Mmm. Onward.
I think I’m going to have to make an #11tyconf category on the https://11tybundle.dev/ site to capture all the post conference blog posts. Stay tuned. #11ty
Planning on doing a full #11tyConf Organizer retrospective blog post, but in the interest of transparency here’s a peek at the conference budget (funded primarily by our Open Collective, prices in USD):
Expenses: $7574.20
Revenue: $4653.79 (Free event, but via sponsors and merch)
Profit: -$2920.41
Edit: Fixed a spreadsheet error 
Catching up with the #11tyConf this morning, UK time (time zone and family responsibilities meant I didn't attend live). Looks like it was a large and active audience, judging by the chat on YouTube. I thought I'd add my 2 cents to the 'how did you get to 11ty' topic. For me it was:
HTML > Geocities-like apps (can't recall which ones) > Radio Userland > Movable Type > WordPress > Hugo > Eleventy
(not counting code tools like Dreamweaver, FrontPage, VSCode, etc)
Hey @henry just saw your talk at #11tyConf, loving the energy! 
Too bad you only had 11 minutes, I'm currently exploring #WebMentions and would've loved to hear about it more in-depth. Did you already blog about this, by any chance?
To everyone else, here's the talk I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/live/iLxJ6PtuF9M?si=qYE7qhAIbnAO92yk&t=8534
What did you use for your slides? For a moment I thought #iaPresenter 
v3.0.0
