The result is over **half a million clues from cryptic crosswords over the past twelve years**, including the clue, answer, puzzle date, puzzle name and a link to the original source. This is all hosted using Datasette, which has been a delight to use: https://cryptics.georgeho.org/

This dataset is a significant work of crossword archivism and scholarship, as acquiring historical crosswords and structuring their contents require focused effort and tedious cleaning that few are willing to do for such trivial data - for example, according to [this 2004 selection guide](https://cryptics.georgeho.org/static/documents/Selection_AppendixE_v2.pdf), the Library of Congress explicitly does not collect crossword puzzles. Anecdotally, I know that many constructors/setters of cryptic crosswords use this dataset as a resource, and some even simply call it ""the database"" - this is probably one of the most impactful data projects I've worked on!","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 1, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1447050738,"Call for birthday presents: if you're using Datasette, let us know how you're using it here",

I am a librarian at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) and I've been using Datasette to publish excerpts of our library data.
There are several use cases I'm working with as a proof of concept : 
1. New titles list : based on reports of recent acquisitions by subject, discipline, etc.
2. List of all UQAM theses and dissertations : based on an extract of bibliographic records
3. List of all publications by UQAM Authors : based on an extract of bibliographic records

See our prototype under construction here : https://datasette-bib.uqam.ca/
(some bits and pieces have been translated into French)

Datasette is amazing, there is so much potential here for libraries. Thanks to Simon and all the contributors for this outstanding effort.
Also sqlite-utils deserves special mention as incredibly handy and useful.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1447050738,"Call for birthday presents: if you're using Datasette, let us know how you're using it here",
