Welcome to xhosi

This is a template created by consolidating three existing Eleventy websites, extracting their best practices and creating a clean, maintainable foundation.

Features

• Modular CSS Architecture: Clean separation of concerns with 8 focused CSS files
• Theme System: Light/dark/system preference support with localStorage persistence
• Responsive Design: Mobile-first approach with accessibility considerations
• Modern Eleventy: v3.1+ with image optimization, RSS feeds, and ES modules
• Footnote Support: Both basic and advanced popover implementations
• Developer Experience: Draft handling, hot reload, and comprehensive build pipeline

Architecture Highlights

xhosi combines the cleanest implementations from three source websites:

• Foundation: Based on pborenstein.dev’s clean architecture
• Features: Best elements from all three sites without technical debt
• CSS: Reduced from 1000+ lines to ~800 lines across modular files
• Maintainability: Specialized agent workflow for ongoing development
