   @11ty — congrats! Gonna miss the name, but hopefully this means good things for the software, which will smell just as sweet.

   @11ty Becoming? Will i be able to get just 11ty?

   1. Build Awesome Mastodon 1 hr later

      @catraxx 11ty is renaming! But we’ll still maintain compatibility with your existing projects, plugins, and build commands.

         @11ty Ok, but the kickstarter sounds like there is a lot more to it now, i don't need all that, i just want 11ty.

            @catraxx yep, those are Pro features, which will be a separate but complementary offering

      It might have been even more disturbing to see it happen live. That wasn’t the only take 🫣

   @11ty this is going to drastically change my tech talk "This goes up to 11ty" 🫠

   But in all seriousness, congrats! Looking forward to the next phase...

   @11ty I think @zachleat deserves a FIFA Oscar for his brilliant performance as that possum.

      @brucelawson @11ty @zachleat

      Except FIFA Awards mean very little these days and Zach deserves a lot more.

    "Build Awesome" doesn't have the same ring as "Eleventy". I get it, making it link to Font Awesome. I bet marketing had a blast coming up with this one. Gonna keep calling it Eleventy, though...
