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 Eleventy 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:

š Eleventy (or 11ty as the cool kids call it): https://www.11ty.dev/
š Sophia Brandt wrote up a helpful article about deploying to GitHub Pages with Eleventy: https://www.rockyourcode.com/how-to-deploy-eleventy-to-github-pages-with-github-actions/
