My Netlify SE application

I've setup this site as my take home task for my application.

I'd recently read about Eleventy as a simple static site generator that's gaining popularity. In reading about it I found a version thats preconfigured with NetlifyCMS. I approached this with a "beginners mind". That is, someone who just wants to get a simple site up and running, and is currently finding their way around Git and the JAMstack approach to creating web applications.

I began by deploying Hylia to Netlify, and cloned my repo locally.
