studio status report: 2020-01
the first month of 2020 is about achieving desired expressive power with eleventy
GitHub issue, “add flat entries/ (index) and groupings by year,” records my progress with generating Blog sites with eleventy:
“Tips for Using Snippets in Your Shopify Theme” introduces me to liquid snippets which finally give me the expressive power i have been looking for 💪… snippets eliminate the need to use absolute paths for templates that can be rendered at different directory levels 👏… i see that it is possible to group the flat index into
yyyy-MMgroups and add deep-linking support for each group [GitHub]
the first month of 2020 is also about automating social-media posting
Social media posts tagged #rxa 👁⚙🌩 [hashtag] are generated by the new studio Azure Logic App. GitHub issue, “automate Tweets from curated data,” tracks this long-awaited achievement. Not another thought about HootSuite!
