One of the very, very few &quot;Show HN&#x27;s&quot; I would give an A+ for the idea. Even better would be a focus on FTP, e.g., datasets available as bulk data without silly &quot;API&#x27;s&quot;. In the early days of the internet posting about such datasets was quite common. Meanwhile I have to continually write flex scanners to transform MySQL and JSON into something useable with kdb (someday maybe I can do all the munging in q). Not to mention all the &quot;scraping&quot;. But I am so used to cutting through Javscript and other cruft it does not bother me anymore.<p>Dataset discovery. A+ for idea.

This looks excellent. Are you wedded to the email newsletter distribution format, or would RSS be reasonable as well?

Great idea! Subscribed. Have you posted to Datatau? I&#x27;ll bet there&#x27;s some folks over there that would be interested as well.

Very cool idea, I&#x27;ve just subscribed as well.<p>And I am thinking about starting the same thing, but for my own country. The current links are almost exclusively from the US.

So no one is using dat, despite all the hype? <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dat-data.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dat-data.com&#x2F;</a>

Love the idea. Is this the first of its kind?
