Thanks for flagging this confusion. It's helpful to hear how this is perceived. Short answer: The spreadsheet is, indeed, embedded in a broader context. (And has a pointer to that context in the "Notes" tab.) Slightly longer explanation in my main comment on this thread.

That's an interesting suggestion, thanks. Certainly worth looking into. In the meantime, you can consider the newsletter's landing page to be a canonical URL of sorts — it will always link to the structured archive: https://tinyletter.com/data-is-plural

Hi, author/creator here. Very neat to see this on HN, thanks. The spreadsheet is a byproduct of the weekly newsletter I publish: https://tinyletter.com/data-is-plural

The spreadsheet simply contains the text and links from each newsletter edition ... but in a tabular format. (One advantage to the newsletter over the spreadsheet: the links make a bit more sense, since they're associated with specific anchor text.) The "non-structured" archive of previous newsletters can be found here: https://tinyletter.com/data-is-plural/archive

Happy to answer any Qs!

In fact, I've been liking it so much that I wrote a tutorial for first-time users: https://jsvine.github.io/intro-to-visidata/

Show HN: Data Is Plural, one year later

Last year, I posted a "Show HN" about Data Is Plural, a newsletter that shares five interesting/useful datasets each week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10513012Your feedback was encouraging, and your suggestions useful. Thanks in large part to you, Data Is Plural is thriving. Last week marked the newsletter's one-year anniversary, and yesterday I sent the 50th edition. To celebrate,...
