Release shapefile-to-sqlite 0.3 — Load shapefiles into a SQLite (optionally SpatiaLite) database
Release datasette-auth-passwords 0.3.2 — Datasette plugin for authentication using passwords
TIL Outputting JSON with reduced floating point precision — [datasette-leaflet-geojson](github.com/simonw/datasette-leaflet-geojson) outputs GeoJSON geometries in HTML pages in a way that can be picked up by JavaScript and used to plot a Leaflet map.
TIL Dynamically loading multiple assets with a callback — For [datasette-leaflet-geojson](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-leaflet-geojson) I wanted to dynamically load some external CSS and JavaScript and then execute some code once they had loaded ([issue 14](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-leaflet-geojson/issues/14)).
TIL Providing a "subscribe in Google Calendar" link for an ics feed — If you provide your own custom generated ICS file hosted at a URL it's nice to be able to give Google Calendar users an easy way to subscribe to that feed.
TIL Creating a dynamic line chart with SVG — I helped build the tide chart visualizations for [Rocky Beaches](https://www.rockybeaches.com/).
