8. Use astro content collections

Accepted

Context

Eleventy was really starting to chafe.

• I was growing more and more uncomfortable with .cjs.
• I found shortcodes to be a non-portable method (in markdown)
• Astro released Content Collections (beta)
• I wanted personal opportunities to continue growing in TypeScript
• Eleventy was starting its decent out of favor in the JS community
• I really started to miss components
• No content/pages separation
• Felt like I was re-learning nunjucks every time i opened my site

Decision

Use Astor with TypeScript and Content Collections.

Consequences

• full re-write of the site
• new concepts and patterns to learn
• closer to JS “thoughtleader” bullshit and wreckless drama I don’t care about
