Why not build the learneleventyfromscratch.com site using 11ty?

Hey there, great job on providing this tutorial! I am learning 11ty myself, and I think it is much more gentle and easier to learn compare to the official 11ty docs. Good job there!

I just can't help but see that the learneleventyfromscratch.com is built using VuePress (which I think it is also a good SSG!). It is just ironic that you are teaching others to use 11ty, and yet you choose not to use it to build the tutorial site itself. I think it will be more convincing and bring more confidence to readers if you rebuilt the site using 11ty instead?

Different software for different purposes.

Documentation is a "solved issue" if you're using software specifically designed to make documentation - why do all of that work again manually? What benefit is that?

The argument that documentation is a “solved issue” would be more convincing if developers, like Vue, weren’t building things like VuePress, “to support the documentation needs of Vue’s own sub projects.”
