> collected from various blogs and digital archives.

This repository contains:

- The [`cryptics`](https://github.com/eigenfoo/cryptics/tree/main/cryptics)

  Python library to scrape various cryptic crossword blogs and parse the

  scraped blog posts into a structured dataset of cryptic crossword clues.

- The [`docs`](https://github.com/eigenfoo/cryptics/tree/main/docs),

  [`static`](https://github.com/eigenfoo/cryptics/tree/main/static) files and

  [`templates`](https://github.com/eigenfoo/cryptics/tree/main/templates)

  needed to generate the static site for documentation.

- Miscellaneous

  [`scripts`](https://github.com/eigenfoo/cryptics/tree/main/scripts) and

  [`queries`](https://github.com/eigenfoo/cryptics/tree/main/queries) to

## Colophon

`cryptics.georgeho.org` is written in a mix of Python, Bash and SQL

and is run on my personal laptop.

The data is published using [Datasette](https://datasette.io/) and deployed on

a [Fly Trial Plan](https://fly.io/). Datasette has been remarkably easy to work

with and a pleasure to use.
