Need to self-host your front end away from the "modern" services like Netlify or Vercel? As both continue to get a little sketchier with time, it's definitely something I'm having to […]
Dave has been running Netlify Analytics (server-side) and Fathom (client-side) for a few years, and the results are in: data integrity is hard. They offer a solid overview of why neither dataset […]
I've been trying to get this working since the Beta of Netlify plugins, and along comes Mark with a fully working example 😂 Definitely want to look into the source code (GitHub) and see if I can […]
I feel like Max is about two years ahead of me on everything 😁 Here I am thinking about getting Twitter syndication working on Netlify, and he wrote a perfect tutorial back in 2019. Definitely […]
Max has put together a quick overview of how to store webmentions in a cache folder so that you don't have to fetch them on each build with Netlify. Super useful and can't help but think this might […]
I didn't know that the <a> element had a download attribute, nor that it could rename the file on download for you […]
A combination of build commands and Netlify tools equals a very creative native commenting system for Jamstack sites (hosted on Netlify, of course). Definitely need to drill a bit deeper into how […]
Some interesting results from the latest Software House frontend survey. Surprised to see that over a third of respondents reckoned CSS-in-JS would be a "fad" and gone in three years; personally […]
Netlify's microsite celebrating their millionth user is a brilliant experiment, so it's great to see them immediately posting a "making of" article on CSS Tricks. It's a beautifully rendered SVG […]
Using a combination of Speedlify and Google Lighthouse tool, Zach is able to display web performance scores in his footer, bespoke for each page. He seems to be doing so client-side, though I don't […]
I like this definition. I think it does a good job of encapsulating why static sites are beneficial whilst also being clear that there are very few things a static site can't be. As Josh demonstrates […]
Notes from the 2020 Jamstack Conf. Some interesting dives in the Jamstack community and various applications of Jamstack technologies, with tweet threads as usual.
Heydon has been working on Ga11ery, a neat image portfolio site generator that's ideal for webcomics. But it's built on the Jamstack using 11ty and Netlify, which means it isn't so simple to […]
On the surface, Netlify has very simply redirect functionality. In principle, I tripped up twice trying to set it up 😅 Konstantin helped set me right: I needed to move the _redirects file to the […]
A solid introduction to the Jamstack, including full build tutorials for an initial SSG setup with Eleventy and Netlify, integrations with the News API service and Open Weather, geolocation checks […]
I finally made it to an IndieWebCamp meetup, even if it was remote only due to the increasingly restrictive implications of the coronavirus. I learnt a lot, I had a great time, and I'm ready to start implementing a whole bunch of new ideas right here. I also took a huge number of notes from the speakers and sessions throughout the day.
Oh boy, there's a lot worth pulling out of this overview of upcoming web […]
A good look behind Andy's "microblog", a small website that powers his Twitter feed and link list via a mixture of IFTTT, RSS, Feedbin, Eleventy, and Netlify. Includes step-by-step guide and source […]
