    <title>Eleventy, 2024 in Review</title>
    <link href="https://www.11ty.dev/blog/review-2024/" />
    <updated>2025-01-08T00:00:00Z</updated>

    <content type="html">&lt;h2 id=&quot;highlights&quot;&gt;Highlights&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was a &lt;em&gt;huge&lt;/em&gt; year for 11ty. The top three highlights have been:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In October, &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/11ty/eleventy/releases/tag/v3.0.0&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eleventy 3.0&lt;/strong&gt; stable shipped&lt;/a&gt; with so many new features, notably unlocking the optional use of ESM in your Eleventy projects.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In September, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.11ty.dev/blog/eleventy-font-awesome/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;11ty Joined Font Awesome&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and it’s been a wildly productive and beautiful partnership! If you’re interested, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.podcastawesome.com/2092855/episodes/16065652-nerd-show-and-tell-meet-zach-leatherman&quot;&gt;we talked about it on Podcast Awesome&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In May, we ran the &lt;a href=&quot;https://conf.11ty.dev/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;11ty Conference&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and it was an incredible success! You can read an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.zachleat.com/web/11ty-conf-retro/&quot;&gt;organizer’s retrospective on my personal blog&lt;/a&gt;. All of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwhCq3ZFGOGgetCSWisU2pkl9AFwQVxWJ&quot;&gt;the conference videos are on YouTube&lt;/a&gt;. Alongside the conference, we launched a &lt;a href=&quot;https://merch.11ty.dev/&quot;&gt;limited time Merch store&lt;/a&gt; and an &lt;a href=&quot;https://buttondown.com/11ty&quot;&gt;Email Newsletter&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Honorable mentions to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.11ty.dev/blog/wikipedia/&quot;&gt;Eleventy on Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt; and Eleventy in use at &lt;a href=&quot;https://fosstodon.org/@eleventy/113624974799156967&quot;&gt;The Louvre Museum&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.11ty.dev/#why-should-you-use-eleventy&quot;&gt;among others&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;metrics&quot;&gt;Metrics&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’ve started a little spreadsheet of data points from the 11ty ecosystem. I started doing this in early 2024 so some of the data is a bit incomplete (but noted below).&lt;/p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;div class=&quot;elv-callout&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;elv-callout-c&quot;&gt;The survey is now closed!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the past we have used &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.11ty.dev/blog/community-survey/&quot;&gt;The Eleventy Community Survey&lt;/a&gt; to help guide and focus our project’s priorities using feedback from the community. This was immensely useful data and helped inform a lot of long-term decision making for the project, providing good insights on various industry trends.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.11ty.dev/blog/eleventy-font-awesome/&quot;&gt;11ty joined Font Awesome&lt;/a&gt; a few short months ago, our project is again relying on survey results to inform future priorities and focus. Alongside the Font Awesome folks, we’re giving the 11ty Community a first look at &lt;a href=&quot;https://survey.awesome.me/?from=11ty&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Survey Awesome&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;—a larger and more comprehensive survey about how folks are building for the web, start to end.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If ever you wanted a say in future projects and priorities in the 11ty Ecosystem, now is the time to weigh in. Help us by &lt;a href=&quot;https://survey.awesome.me/?from=11ty&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;adding your voice to &lt;strong&gt;Survey Awesome&lt;/strong&gt; today&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>11ty is joining Font Awesome</title>
    <link href="https://www.11ty.dev/blog/eleventy-font-awesome/" />
    <updated>2024-09-12T00:00:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://www.11ty.dev/blog/eleventy-font-awesome/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;picture&gt;&lt;source type=&quot;image/avif&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.11ty.dev/img/built/3Qno8I-t3E-2000.avif 2000w&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.11ty.dev/img/built/3Qno8I-t3E-2000.jpeg&quot; alt=&quot;Font Awesome + 11ty logos&quot; width=&quot;2000&quot; height=&quot;1050&quot;&gt;&lt;/picture&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today—I’m delighted to announce that 11ty is joining the excellent team at &lt;a href=&quot;https://fontawesome.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;svg class=&quot;fa11ty-icon&quot;&gt;&lt;use href=&quot;#fab-fa-font-awesome&quot; xlink:href=&quot;#fab-fa-font-awesome&quot;&gt;&lt;/use&gt;&lt;/svg&gt;&lt;em&gt;Font Awesome&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Read more on &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.fontawesome.com/eleventy-joins-font-awesome/&quot;&gt;Blog Awesome: Eleventy joins Font Awesome&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’re probably already familiar with the folks at Font Awesome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Maybe you’ve used their excellent open source &lt;a href=&quot;https://fontawesome.com/icons&quot;&gt;icon library&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Perhaps you’ve used the newly minted open source web components library &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.fontawesome.com/introducing-web-awesome/&quot;&gt;Web Awesome&lt;/a&gt; (a.k.a. Shoelace).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;But surely you remember one of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd3CSqexVW6fZv3VTnquaZPmY1XOC9A9h&quot;&gt;legendary promo videos from their wildly successful Kickstarter campaigns&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;what-does-this-mean-for-eleventy&quot;&gt;What does this mean for Eleventy?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No action is required by folks using and building with Eleventy. We will continue to help you build fast web sites (with fast build times!) and we will continue to develop and maintain the open source project as before!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We’ve had a lot of great discussions about best practices for sustainable open source with the Font Awesome folks in the past few months and they have a well established record of maintaining open source projects—as evidenced by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.abeautifulsite.net/posts/the-future-of-shoelace/&quot;&gt;path already paved by Cory Laviska with Shoelace and Web Awesome&lt;/a&gt; (October 2022).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We’re excited that Eleventy is going to play a deeper role in the &lt;em&gt;Awesome ecosystem&lt;/em&gt; and believe that this partnership will extend the life expectancy of the project well beyond our original ten-year goal!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;whats-next&quot;&gt;What’s Next?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eleventy recently &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.11ty.dev/blog/three-point-oh-beta-one/&quot;&gt;shipped our first 3.0 beta release&lt;/a&gt; and the stable release is currently classified as &lt;em&gt;imminently&lt;/em&gt; shippable—stay tuned for that very soon!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m happy to answer any questions you might have (about this news or anything else about Eleventy)—just send me a message on &lt;a href=&quot;https://fosstodon.org/@eleventy&quot;&gt;Mastodon&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

I sincerely appreciate everyone that donated!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Read &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.zachleat.com/web/independent-sustainable-11ty/&quot;&gt;this post about 11ty’s goal of being fully independent and sustainable in 2024&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;p&gt;11ty is now operating independently, with full time development and maintenance funded by our Open Collective supporters. We need your help to keep going! We have a goal of $6000 USD recurring monthly budget.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Individual contributions are great (every bit helps) but we &lt;em&gt;need&lt;/em&gt; more businesses to help. We’re also open to corporate partners: Developer Tools, Web Hosting (Jamstack, Static Sites, et al), Image Optimization (we’re about to ship a best-in-class Image Optimization plugin that would pair quite nicely with a hosted service), Content Management Systems, and Web Performance and Monitoring.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Head directly to &lt;a href=&quot;https://opencollective.com/11ty&quot;&gt;our Open Collective&lt;/a&gt; to start your recurring donation.&lt;/strong&gt; We also accept &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/sponsors/11ty&quot;&gt;GitHub Sponsors&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you have questions or want to set up a chat to discuss an opportunity, &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:zach@11ty.dev&quot;&gt;contact me directly&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
