it basically โbuildsโ your site for you, and it easier to reuse chunks/templates without having to rewrite entire code portions or using javascript to do it (like my site rn uses javascript to spit out my header/sidebar/footer, 11ty does it for you instead)
it definitely is a bit of a learning curve right now even for me, but it also makes it easier to make pages; i could write a page is just markdown, add a couple doodads like telling 11ty โhey can you use my normal site template?โ and itโll just build and spit the site out with all the proper HTML + your markdown into proper HTML text
wow i should not write when half asleep bahaha. petrapixel has a pretty thorough tutorial on it, but itโs definitely a learning curve rn to kinda understand what i can do, canโt, and how the fuck some other stuff works. itโs why i avoided 11ty until now since im wanting to redo my layout/gut my site from 0
