Done with Airtable after their latest changes and massive layoffs of their small accounts staff. #offrav #RavelryAccessibility Investigating self-hosting my data. /1 forbes.com/sites/stevenbe…
Tried nocodb, it's pretty good - an almost direct replacement for Airtable - but don't have more than one photo in the gallery view main image field or it may also cause vestibular disturbances. #offrav #RavelryAccessibility /2

It just took me 2 days to get my very small amount of Ravelry data into a format I could usefully import into Airtable. It's not a fun job. The data dump is a shit show. Separate json files for each entry, at least 6 different table structures for #RavelryAccessibility /1 favorites & it didn't appear to save what I thought it did.

I have a computer programming diploma and it took this long to clean up #RavelryAccessibility /2
