Great write-up. It's the classic innovations dilema (squared) all over again - the simple things e.g. SQLite, CSV, etc. work far better than modern "state-of-the-art" offerings. Also doing my fair share e.g. trying to improve CSV - CSV v1.1 anyone? -> https://csv11.github.io and collecting text to SQLite dbs for football -> https://github.com/openfootball (aka football.db); beer -> https://github.com/openbeer (aka beer.db) and the world -> https://github.com/openmundi (aka world.db) All datasets / SQLite dbs in the public domain (no license, no copyright, no rights reserved), for example, and ready for use with Datasette. Thanks for the great (open) data publishing tool.
