Hi! thanks for checking this out, I’ve also written a little bit of background about this project as well as some help getting deno working with 11ty.

The project is also available to view at 11ty.deno.dev

Now that Eleventy supports ESM (from version 3.x), it means we can use it in places we couldn't previously.

Deno is a fast, secure and great alternative to Node and now supports most of the node ecosystem, so it seems like a great time to try and bring the two together in a starter project, and that's exactly what this is. Deno.deploy is also a super great place to try out ideas and has native key-pair database for doing server-side like things.

I like what this project sets out to achieve and it pairs great with Eleventy... you can do client side routing pretty easily with minimal changes to your markup.

Vento is a new layout/templating engine written in javascript which has a well supported plugin module for 11ty and works natively in deno too, so I've switched over to using that for everthing.
