I was surprised, I thought the article was going to be about dogsheep, especially when the article makes a point of linking to prior work.

Absolutely no shade, it just goes to show how hard it is to keep track of All The Things.

I’ve got a small number of links to such things here — (which is how I could track down dogsheep quickly)

Thank you for this! Looks like a kindred project. I have hard of Datasette before but not Dogsheep, I'll give it a look.
