Project mention: How I fixed this Next.js error: Refused to load the script because it violate Content Security Policy directive | dev.to | 2024-05-16
The first time I started building static websites is when I discovered Gatsby. I built several projects using Gatsby and hosted it on Netlify free tier. It felt like a really robust architecture and I loved that it was free.
Following one of the comments in this thread I reviewed two other products in this space - https://www.staticcms.org/ and https://decapcms.org/ - and it looks like the webpages are almost a direct copy of one another, one in dark mode and one in light mode.
I'm a technical product marketer, and I find these type of landing page copying amusing to no end.
Now that you're familiar with why Eleventy + Storyblok is my ideal combination and how to seamlessly query data from Storyblok for use in an Eleventy project, it's time for the next exciting step: let's embark on creating a complete blog site using these two phenomenal technologies!
Thanks for reading!
The web tech stack is actually one of my biggest regrets. It's a static site generator called Gridsome[0] that the maintainers abandoned about three months after I used it to launch the TinyPilot website.
At the time I made the TinyPilot site, I was very excited about Vue, so a Vue-based SSG seemed great. Since then, I've come to find SPAs and most frontend frameworks to be way too much complexity, so I've moved away from Vue, but the TinyPilot website is still stuck on Vue 2.x and bootstrap-vue (which is tied to Vue 2 and Bootstrap 4).
So, it keeps creaking along, but building the 100ish pages on the site takes about five minutes, whereas I think something like Hugo could probably do it in a few seconds. Plus, we get random runtime errors[1] that are pretty hard to debug.
