Made some tweaks to my eleventy image plugin config! Basically, making it so that my gifs are kept intact/animated, and also making sure the responsive sizing is up and running.

It took me a little while to figure out the responsive sizing. This is what my ImageTransform config looks like now :)

eleventyConfig.addPlugin(eleventyImageTransformPlugin, {
  widths: [200, 600, 800],
  formats: ["png", "gif", "webp"],
  formatFiltering: ["transparent", "animated"],
  sharpOptions: {
    animated: true,
  },
  htmlOptions: {
    imgAttributes: {
      alt: "", // required
      sizes: [200, 600, 800],
      loading: "lazy",
      decoding: "async"
    },
    fallback: "smallest"
  }
});

I still feel a little intimidated by my config.cjs file as a whole, but I think my understanding of it is “good enough” for now!

But yeah um. I think it’s ready. The website, I mean. I think my 11ty migration can be considered “complete”. Very exciting!! aaa!!!

I wrote up like a little announcement post for it, and there was a lot of stuff I edited out because I didn’t want it to be super long or go on tooooo many tangents, but I was looking back on these changelogs and. What do you mean I’ve been working on this for 7~8 months now???

There’s still lots of stuff I want to add to the site and improve about it, but I’m very happy to have reached this point! I’ll probably just take my time with the other stuff.

I was going to copy over the remaining todos, but it’d literally look like this:

…the nice-to-haves:

[ ] Project pages for Game Projects
[ ] Project pages for Archived Projects
[ ] Extra sketchbooks (OC-2023, M)
[ ] Cute header art for the main pages!

Things to fix:

[x] Image plugin seems to have broken our GIFs… See the blender projects.

I’m going to try to run a proper build of the site now. And then if that all works out ok, I’ll upload it to my webhost. If you’re reading this, I’ve probably succeeded! :D

I should probably make an actual git repo for the site too. It’s a pretty big project now, and getting some proper version control set up shouldn’t be that hard/take that long. My gamedev adventures have gotten me pretty comfy using git!
