Using Eleventy

I recently migrated my blog from Next.js to Eleventy. I'm enjoying Eleventy's developer experience much more than that of Next.js. For my needs, Eleventy is a better fit because my personal website doesn't require a lot of logic, so I don't need the full capabilities of Next.js.

I've tried other static site generators (SSGs) in the past, but after discovering Eleventy, I plan to stick with it for a long time.

I appreciate that Eleventy primarily generates HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. There is no build step or complex server-side code involved.

At work, I mostly use Angular, so the "React-like" aspects of Next.js were unfamiliar to me.

Additionally, I like that Eleventy generates static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files, eliminating the need for a backend server. I host my site on Cloudflare Pages, which is free for static sites.
