Advanced Webweaving: Auditing Against Specification.Website

I ran brennan.day against The Website Specification's 140-item checklist covering foundations, SEO, accessibility, security, performance, privacy, and resilience. Notes on a broken web manifest I'd never noticed, why I don't have cookie consent banners, CSP debugging with third-party services, service worker CORS issues, a bunch of small improvements, and the list of things I didn't fix.

300 Minutes a Month: Cutting My Eleventy Netlify Build Time in Half

A sequel to my Eleventy build post: this time the bottleneck wasn't the build tool, it was the hosting bill. Notes on caching webmentions and guestbook fetches, killing a dead Discord webhook, nearly breaking my JSON feed, and a git error I still don't have an answer for.

Xmit Might Be My New Favorite Static Site Host

Comparing Xmit to Netlify, Vercel, and Render for static site hosting: simple GitHub Actions deploys, easy redirects, and refreshingly little platform overhead.

Posting to Your Static Site with Quill and Micropub

Hugoのテーマを変更したらnetlifyのビルドが失敗するようになった

Populating env vars using 1Password

I love automating things and — with that impulse entirely unchecked — I've written up a shell script to make setting this site up for local development even simpler.

Rebuilding your Netlify site at regular intervals

With my site on Netlify I've set up a function to rebuild it at regular intervals (hourly, in my case).

Cloudflare Registrarでドメインを登録し、Netlifyのサーバーにサブドメインを当てる

Handling images with B2, Netlify's image CDN, Hazel and Mountain Duck

I've spent a while hosting and fetching images from bunny.net when my 11ty builds. I had multiple pull zones configured and wanted to leverage bunny.net's transforms, but the pricing of $15/month per zone wasn't feasible.

Building a scrobbler using Plex webhooks, edge functions and blob storage

I've written before about embedding music into my site and I've largely used Last.fm to do so. Their API is rather extensive, though it is showing its age — the default response format is XML, they've dropped artist images and have intermittently failed to return album art. ListenBrainz is great, but client support is still lacking. I've also tried charting Apple Music data from their (quite limited) API.

Build a Static Comment System

Hosting a static site is great, but what about comments? What can we do to store comments in a static site?

My journey to serverless and back

So I've had some experience with the whole "serverless" thing over the past few months. A few cloudflare workers, a netlify function here or there to spice up a static site. But a full-on serverless function based project was not something I'd had experience with, until now.
