Credits 🙌

Spacebook was inspired by my search for the simplest possible way to spin up a modern website in the least amount of time, with the freedom to extend as needed, zero cost, no maintenance burden, and virtually zero effort.

Eleventy was a perfect fit, and I spent many hours researching these and other starter projects for ideas and inspiration:

• Eleventy Netlify Boilerplate by Dan Urbanowiczi – I used this as the basis for Netlify CMS integration and for overall code structure
• Eleventy-Tailwind-AlpineJS Starter by Greg Wolanski – this was the method I followed for integrating Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js
• Eleventy Base Blog by Zach Leatherman and the Eleventy team – I used this as an “official” reference even though spacebooks do not contain blog functionality
• Staticrypt implementation by various, including this Gist linked from the Staticrypt issue queue
• Nextra by Shu Ding – this is a Next.js project that also uses Tailwind and heavily inspired the overall design of spacebook.
• Add Search to an Eleventy website with Elasticlunr by Duncan McDougall – this gave me the basics for integrating Elasticlunr

Overall I investigated and researched more than a dozen additional Eleventy starter projects for inspiration, code snippets, and to learn more about how Eleventy works. Thanks to all – there is no one “right way” to build an Eleventy site and this is just one small attempt.
