@zachleat@fediverse.zachleat.com @anders@thoresson.social @11ty@neighborhood.11ty.dev will it be possible to offer a version of those pro features without requiring an active subscription (or relying on your hardware)? i don’t use 11ty but i’m overall involved in the ecosystem (since i’m using a js ssg that’s based on 11ty) and i would like for this rising tide to lift all ships. overall feeling unconvinced seeing y’all having people fund a subscription service that they’ll have to pay for afterwards. like the features are cool and i know that base will stay the same, but all this isn’t going to have *no* impact on the ecosystem.
i guess my point is that i am imagining the best case and the worst case future for this and i don’t feel great thinking the realistic future is that base 11ty doesn’t languish but also this rising tide will only lift the ships of those willing to pay for a subscription.

@ewie@social.lol @anders@thoresson.social @11ty@neighborhood.11ty.dev importantly this funding will go towards improving the free version of Build Awesome/11ty, but the plan right now is that the self hosted version of your site will not include access to the Pro runtime services (but those are enhancements and will be decoupled from the self hosted version). Hopefully that answers your question!
