Template Details
11up is an Eleventy starter repository published by woodcox, which the author used to experiment with quickly building websites. The technology stack includes Eleventy for generating static pages, Tailwind CSS for styling, Alpine.js for front-end interactivity, ESbuild as the JavaScript build pipeline, and Netlify CMS as the content management entry point.
The repository provides an online demo page and includes a Netlify one-click deploy button. The README outlines the getting-started process: clone the repository, enter the directory, run npm install to install dependencies, then run npm run start to launch Eleventy.
In the README, the author notes that the template was inspired by Neat Starter, TEAstack, and the Jekyll theme SinglePaged, and mentions possible future additions of an ESbuild CSS plugin and Partytown for analytics scripts, both marked as to-dos or ideas and not yet implemented.

Source file / repository|  | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | # [11up](https://woodcox.github.io/11up/) 11up is a starter repo to test out how I could build websites fast using [Eleventy](https://www.11ty.dev), [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com), and [Alpinejs](https://alpinejs.dev). [ESbuild](https://esbuild.github.io/) is also used as a JS build pipeline. I might make use of the css plugins for ESbuild in the future as this repo by [arslanakram](https://github.com/arslanakram/custom-esbuild-with-scss-purgecss-and-liveserver) has an interesting setup. Details of this set up are also available on [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70325815/how-to-setup-custom-esbuild-with-scss-purgecss-liveserver). I am hoping I can transfer my jekyll projects to the TEAstack + ESbuild. ## Live Demo [https://woodcox.github.io/11up/](https://woodcox.github.io/11up/) ### Technologies used: - [Netlify CMS](https://www.netlifycms.org/) - [Eleventy](https://www.11ty.dev/) - [Alpine.js](https://github.com/alpinejs/alpine) - [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) - [ESbuild](https://esbuild.github.io/) <a href="https://app.netlify.com/start/deploy?repository=https://github.com/woodcox/11up&stack=cms"><img src="https://www.netlify.com/img/deploy/button.svg" alt="Deploy to Netlify" /></a> ## Getting Started ### 1.
