Planning on a full Jekyll migration guide in #68.

The short answers are:

Should we use 11ty instead of Jekyll?

Yes

What are the benefits?

Do we need to change the repo file structure?

No! https://github.com/zachleat/zachleat.com/tree/master/web is an example of this. Most of the work is done in the .eleventy.js config file.

Will Github pages drop Jekyll in favor of 11ty?

Probably not since they are a Ruby shop afaik, but I’ll have a tutorial on how to autodeploy to GitHub soon. Netlify is easier, though. https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-base-blog does this.
