Minimalist Portfolio - 11ty, SCSS, progressive enhancement
Design comparison
Solution retrospective
UPDATE:
Fixed some issues that were bothering me on this one.
i) Fixed the textarea issue below - I had created in input
with the type textarea
- only took me a couple of hours to work that one out! 🤦♂️
ii) Fixed the project title not appearing in the title on each project page. Some hectic delving into 11tys pagination object was involved...
iii) Linked up all my other FEM projects so that each project actually links to a FEM project I did - just for fun... Only bookmark challenge remains outstanding.
Again, any feedback most welcome
Thanks
I learnt a lot about 11ty on this project. I used collections and pagination for the first time. It was difficult but I can see this being very useful. I think I could have hard coded this in about half the time, but making edits to this site is now a real breeze thanks to 11ty and nunjunks templating.
Using 11ty's pagination feature (and collections), adding projects from a markdown file updates the portfolio page and the pagination links and text automatically. I also inlined my CSS to improve performance. I split my CSS into 'critical', which appears on every page, and other page specific CSS is inlined on each page
I would very much welcome advice on the following issues:
Regarding 11ty, I spent a lot of time working out pagination. I thought that content that I put below the last ---
in my .md files would appear in the template I referenced. This didn't happen. I suspect something to do with 11ty's data cascade, but I haven't understood what was happening yet.
One thing that has driven me crazy is styling the textarea on the form. I would like the text to wrap, at the moment it just carries on on one line, and I would like to user inputted text to start at the top (in the same location as the placeholder text). I moved the placeholder text, but cannot get the user text to start where I want it to.
Any other advice and suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks!
