Establish tech stack

@GemCopeland, my initial thinking is:

• Eleventy for static site generation
• Are.na for your images, using the API to generate your Thinking content
• Netlify for hosting the site files (not media) and SSL
• Netlify Functions for API authentication

And of course GitHub for the repo and for the documentation on how to get set up, authorship, etc.

A few relevant Eleventy docs according to conversations we’ve had recently:

• Frontmatter
• Tutorials (indicates how we could extend things in the future, particularly search)

We’d probably use this repo as a jumping off point, it’s a basic Eleventy blog made by the guy who started Eleventy.

What do you think? If that seems like a decent jumping-off point, I could get the unstyled structure sketched out on a branch so that we can demo it. We should be able to look at all demos in Netlify on dummy URLs once we get it hooked up.

All sounds good to me!
