- 11ty, a static site generator
- Nunjucks (*.njk), a templating language
- Bootstrap, a UI component library
- Markdown (*.md), an easily readable markup language
I decided against Jekyl because it is written in Ruby, which I am unfamiliar with. I also figured it would be easier to incorporate extra frameworks with 11ty since it uses javascript.
Here I'm documenting the thinking I did regarding the adoption of webc. It's really nice how it integrates with 11ty and allows for JavaScript, but I've already invested a lot of time into Nunjucks & solving problems with it, and I feel like switching would raise more problems and I don't have that many "components". If I really need to make a component with scoped styles, I would use declarative shadow DOM.
