Welcome to the Datasette blog (https://datasette.io/blog/2026/new-blog/)

We have a bunch of neat Datasette announcements in the pipeline so we decided it was time the project grew an official blog.

I built this using OpenAI Codex desktop, which turns out to have the Markdown session transcript export feature I’ve always wanted. Here’s the session that built the blog (https://gist.github.com/simonw/885b11eee46822622b8031a1f4e5f3a3). See also issue 179 (https://github.com/simonw/datasette.io/issues/179).
