• chriskrycho/web: The (very WIP) home of the next versions of my web presences
  • Eleventy → lx, and the case for overlapping taxonomies
    • Person/Chris Krycho's site engine lx (his successor to Eleventy for v5.chriskrycho.com, not a general-purpose SSG) names a design goal worth stealing:

      • custom taxonomies, allowing overlapping/non-hierarchical relationships beyond a single kind of 'tag': something might need to live in both Art and Family as top-level subjects, while going specifically in Poetry and Cat, while also being filed specifically as Writing rather than, say, audio. That kind of overlapping categorization exists in very few other tools.
        

    • The friction it surfaces: most Static Site Generators and CMSs collapse subject, specific topic, and kind/medium into a single tags axis. lx separates them, so one post can be subject Art and Family, specifically Poetry and Cat, while still being kind Writing rather than audio.
