  For people who don't know what Datasette[0][1] is, it's a tool for exploring and publishing data, based on SQLite. From the README: > Datasette helps people take data of any shape or size and publish that as an interactive, explorable website and accompanying API. Datasette is aimed at data journalists, museum curators, archivists, local governments and anyone else who has data that they wish to share with the world.

    I think it was also a brand of computer - specific cassette tapes for cassette storage. I was briefly confused at why such retro storage was chosen.
