Building with Eleventy — prototyping Women of Jamstack — launching on IWD 2022

Take a trip back in time to a live stream where I prototyped Women of Jamstack, live on Twitch.

This site is built with Eleventy and is open source.

The biggest takeaway from this is that you can launch a website ANY TIME! The design doesn't have to be perfect — what's stopping you from putting that site on that domain? Put it live!

Gotta love a good YOLO deploy!
