## What Jamie wrote

Simon Willison, author of Datasette, mentioned this utility that he made for Airtable in [his weeknote](https://simonwillison.net/2020/Sep/3/weeknotes-airtable-screenshots-dogsheep/). I've considered this use case myself. Storing data in a well structured Airtable setup and then writing to disk to publish online. I didn’t consider using YAML or JSON in the middle though which is a pretty solid idea.
