Longtime Eleventy user Juha-Matti Santala announces he's parting ways with the static site generator after Font Awesome rebranded it as 'Build Awesome' and launched a crowdfunding campaign. The author expresses concern about the new corporate direction and feature focus that doesn't align with his values. He plans to pin Eleventy to its current version and maintain a local copy to continue using it independently.
