Doin a lil @slinkitydotdev at the park 🙃 Got @preactjs working in @eleven_ty with props, lazy hydration, and HMR. 1.0 canary looking 🤌🔥

Time to put this away for some frisbee though 😄

[Astro @astrodotbuild]

zero JS by default

{% shortcodes %}
Are still cool

👀 UPDATE LOG 40 👀
Returning to form! Let’s talk about
🧑‍💻 Shortcodes and snippets
🗂 A new path for assets and islands
🙊 Soon… SHARED STATE??

[Slinkity @slinkitydotdev]

With @eleven_ty's new is-land library, this use case never been stronger 💪

[Benjamin Read @muzzlehatch_]

This “islands architecture” / partial rehydration approach that I’ve wanted for years has really taken off 🚀

1. Eleventy + @slinkitydotdev
2. @astrodotbuild
3. https://t.co/0Nkwx8mqrU
4. https://t.co/2GQEa2KsfU

Have I missed any?

[Slinkity @slinkitydotdev]

@nachtfunke @mmatuzo @eleven_ty Erm, that's pretty outside our focus to be honest! We're definitely tied to the shortcode constraints of 11ty 🤷‍♂️

[Slinkity @slinkitydotdev]

@eleven_ty Just some AI filtering right now! Really been digging @mmhmmapp for recording with facecam 👍

[Slinkity @slinkitydotdev]

It's never been easier to add components to @eleven_ty!
💪 Flexible - server-only, client-only, or hydrated
🔋 Batts included - give us the file, we'll know how to render it
🤝 Built for 11ty - backed by 11ty's own is-land library

Coming in the next major release 👀

[Slinkity @slinkitydotdev]

@NoWizardry A whiteboard magician never tells 🪄

[Slinkity @slinkitydotdev]

We’re rebuilding Slinkity from the ground up with NEW SHORTCODES, FEATURES, and a major RELEASE!

1.0 canary 👀👀👀
Release date: soon (!?) 👀👀👀

Tune in this week to see what’s coming! 🏝

[Slinkity @slinkitydotdev]

...some big changes are coming 👀

[Slinkity @slinkitydotdev]

Just an FYI: we won't have time for a Slinkity stream today sadly! We *are* kicking the tires on this new @eleven_ty <is-land> concept though... we'll see what we come up with there 👀

[Slinkity @slinkitydotdev]

Update: sounds like the @vite_js team was listening! We'll be getting those CSS assets directly in the manifest now, so no more "bend Rollup to our will" spaghetti code 🍝

Thanks for the quick Vite 3 push y'all 🙌
