11ty iFramely Bookmarks
A look at bookmarks as a reading list presented using 11ty and iFramely
I’m truly enjoying 11ty. I’m also looking to recapture some of the layout options I still miss from Revue (RIP) for unfurled cards the created flexible previews of embedded URLs within my newsletter.

Getting Informed
This is a lightweight post to close out bookmarks I have been cleaning up from last month. I’ll be testing with a new card format via iFramely from its markers at Itteco Software Corp..
First, I created a free account on iFramely.
Second, I customized the outputs offered.
Third, I gathered all the bookmarks I had been considering for sharing in the newsletter and did manual testing for a variety of embedded results. (Yes, my reading is a bit nerdy.)
Abstract graphic: works well for squared timelines
These are examples of a website where the creator has made a design choice that can accommodate the smaller card timeline format. The graphic choice is ready to be presented in a square format.

Crunched layout 1: works well even for squared timelines
While not pixel-perfect, there are examples where even a cropped square of a graphic still works well.

Crunched layout 2: does not work well for squared timelines
Of course, there is the loss of context from cropping out text (to say nothing of alt text) for the smaller card timeline format.

No graphic: fallback is reasonable
Then again, graphics are not compulsory and a fallback to simple text is reasonable.

Next, I’ll be working on incorporating the API as my free time permits.
Until then…

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Apple’s first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
