          1. Speaking of Horse Racing Datasets, I'm currently working on a redesign. I got an Apple pencil over the holidays and now I can do pixel perfect mockups!

        Making good progress on the redesign! Here's the current light and dark modes of the homepage. Might also make a mono and high contrast theme

    Finally! The latest version is out there in the wild! The biggest enhancement was migrating it to @eleven_ty. The data is still coming from @airtable, but now it's served statically so it's very fast⚡️horseracingdatasets.com/

      Other updates include a light and dark based on visitor system-level preference. I'll be adding the ability to toggle and maybe add a toned-down mono theme to give everyone more choice

        Simplified the data types and categories into a flat structure of just categories, all of which still have their own page, like this one for the new category of Fillies and Mares... horseracingdatasets.com/fillies-and-mares/

          Each dataset now has its own page to make them easy to share or reference. Access them using the pound sign/hash after the title...

              My favorite new dataset is a list of Group/Grade 1 fillies and mares that have won in open company since 2010 compiled and maintained by @FilliesFirst. It's a spectacular resource! horseracingdatasets.com/open-company-filly-and-mare-grade-1-winners/

                I see I have to fix the description on single datasets lol. I'll be adding a post at my site with more details and updating the project page, but please let me know if you find any issues!
