Choice of stack also kept me away so I decided to just keep it simple!

11ty is pretty close to html/css, but it has the niceties of being able to reuse html where you want.

I recommend to start without a theme, Just make a html file named layout and add {{ content }} And then an md file and put on the top matter layout: <name-of-your-layout>

It’s really all is needed and it’s good to understand how it works (as opposed to jekyll or hugo that I couldn’t figure out because they have a bunch of undocumented assumptions and requirements…)
