I spent the last week converting the old Omnisurface Stars Wordpress blog to an @eleven_ty site. I didn't bring the posts over, just the datasets that were embedded google sheets. Converted those to json files & now it's fast, responsive & more accessible omnisurface-stars.com/

It's nice to give the project a sustainable home, especially since it was a labor of love for a few of us... @railbird @RacingHistory and I were the site maintainers w/plenty of submissions from @FilliesFirst @o_crunk & Alan Heitner (sp?).

Not to be corny, but the site also represents the pre-ABR era of digital racing/Twitter & IMO that's something worth preserving. It's also a reminder of an enjoyable era, at least for me! I'll be writing up the project & a bit abt creating the json files & data tables at my site.

Project added at my site, going to do a separate post to talk about creating json files and data tables. From the kicking the tires department, I'm happy to report the hardest part of adding a new project was writing about it danabyerly.com/projects/omnisurface-stars-archive/

Finally finished the post about creating the JSON files and data tables for this project. Didn't think it would end up taking this long, but if you want to find a bunch of things to fix in a project, just start writing an article about it! danabyerly.com/articles/responsive-and-accessible-data-tables/
