A clean, minimal, and fast Eleventy blog starter built with Tailwind CSS.

• https://crispwrite.netlify.app/

• Public content isolated under src/
• Blog, tags, and built-in client-side search
• Draft workflow (draft: true) so unpublished posts stay private
• RSS feed, sitemap, social metadata, and custom 404
• Accessibility-first defaults (skip link, focus states, keyboard-friendly menu)
• CI build with strict metadata validation in pull requests

src/
  _data/        # Site metadata/helpers
  _includes/    # Layouts + partials
  assets/       # CSS + images
  blog/         # Markdown posts
  tags/         # Tag index + tag pages
  search/       # Search page

• Node.js 18+
• npm

git clone https://github.com/deepakness/crispwrite.git
cd crispwrite
npm install

Before publishing, update placeholders in src/_data/metadata.js:

• url
• author.name
• social handles/links

CI enforces strict metadata checks via npm run build:strict.

npm run start

Open http://localhost:8080.

npm run build

Output is generated in _site/.

Create a draft post scaffold:

npm run new:post -- "My New Post"

Then edit the generated file in src/blog/.

• Draft posts use draft: true and are excluded from site output collections.
• Add tags in frontmatter to power tag pages and search.

• Search page: /search
• Tags index: /tags
