• Remy Sharp reminded us that that Disqus’ JavaScript is a trojan horse for all kinds of tracking and fourth-party JavaScript. Notably a lot of this is blocked by default in Firefox (without an ad-blocker). Firefox’s site performance gets a huge head start on Chrome because of Mozilla’s excellent decision to block this extra junk.
• core-js decided to console log a message on postinstall to ask for project donations and spurred a big discussion on best practices for open source sustainability. I empathize with what they’re trying to do but I think the execution was a bit off—I’ve seen this message in my console so many times that it’s feeling a bit like spam.
• Ryan Frazier is using Eleventy to render sheet music! WHAT.
• The JS Party episode that I was on was published.
• I wrote a post about Facepile image performance and lazy loading webmention avatar images.

• 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)

Thursday June 13 #

• I did a Smashing TV Webinar. It was an updated version (a minor release) of a talk that I gave at Performance.now() last year. I published the new, updated slides. The video is free to Smashing members!
• We (Filament Group) launched a redesign of our web site! Scott Jehl has more about it on Twitter. (Still using Eleventy ?)
• Phil Hawksworth did a big update to his very popular Eleventy starter project, EleventyOne. It’s great! (via Twitter)

Friday June 14 #

• I noticed that the much renowned photographer Norman Posselt published an Instagram sneak preview of the portrait he took of me directly after my talk at Beyond Tellerrand!
• New awesome Eleventy site: Every Layout: Relearn CSS Layout from Heydon Pickering and Andy Bell.
• Another new awesome Eleventy site: ffconf.org, a very popular long-running conference series organized by Left Logic. Thanks Remy Sharp!
