  • I finally got a little bit of time to play with Nuxt. I’m becoming a big fan of Vue and it works great but goodness Nuxt loads a fair bit of JavaScript for the Hello World demo.
  • I switched my site to use brotli instead of zopfli compression. I’d take a wild guess that it’s about 10% better? Here’s how I did it.
  • Update: Remy Sharp removed Disqus from his site and blogged about it in Ejecting Disqus. He replaced it with Commento.

  • I found an XSS problem in my webmentions. I needed to adjust my use of sanitize-html in my build to make sure that it was escaping all of the webmention output. Max Boeck updated his eleventy-webmentions project with this fix as well. (via Twitter)
