Home | GitTables - is an effort to collect many examples of tables, to support the creation of machine learning models of tables. From the paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.07258.pdf :
GitTables can be leveraged for 1) learned models for semantic column type detection with complementary coverage compared to existing corpora, 2) accurately suggesting schema completions in typical database contexts, and 3) developing challenging bench- marks for data management tasks.

And this is the tool:
A new outliner for Mac.
If you know what an outliner is, then you will know that having a tool that does it just so for you can be really important. If you are not into outlining, then maybe go it it a try? Jesse Grosjean Has just released a new one for mac:
I’ve not tried it, but Jessie’s software is elegant and for many years I was a major user of storeroom and taskpaper. I think I moved away from them as my tooling habits changed.
You can find his other software here: B https://www.hogbaysoftware.com/
