can i have @11ty.dev serve a path raw? or does the default ./pages do this already? (or do it minus the front-matter?) want to host a url on an @11ty.dev dns that is just a raw javascript site. i haven't tried adding FM to /pages/ yet. that seems simplest, not sure if v3 11ty does cleaner?

@daviddawkins.bsky.social feedback: i'm trying to bootstrap a landing page in sutil. on a lark i loaded all sutil source and docs into 2m context gemini (it took about 800k tokens). it's trying to build all the examples in bulma-style (a lot of your examples reference bulma i know).

Cette image est extraordinaire. Le volcan Etna est en éruption. Il fait nuit, les étoiles apparaissent, ainsi qu'un pilier de lumière rouge, dû à l’interaction entre la lumière du magma et des cristaux de glace dans des nuages au-dessus!

Something new for day 48 of my futile one-woman crusade to keep real images popping up on your feed rather than AI (in The Bad Place)
Late autumn in Clent. A little bit of atmosphere and the beech trees absolutely putting on a show! Woodland is tricky but the only way to improve is to keep at it.
