I'm not sure why you're using the past tense, the current version is only a year old, and I will never stop using it because panning messy datasets for hidden gold is my thing.


What type of datasets?


Things with janky APIs or built on abandonware like imageboards, niche forums, dead comment communities, data dumps etc.


doing this professionally? Just curious..


Yes, I'm a subject matter person who can code rather than a coder selling into a rewarding market. Someone with better business skills than I might find it more financially rewarding.


That sounds interesting.
