Examples of sites built using Datasette
datasette.io (this website)
datasette.io runs using a heavily customized Datasette instance implementing the Baked Data pattern. Read more about how it works in datasette.io, an official project website for Datasette and Building a search engine for datasette.io.
You can explore the database that powers this site at datasette.io/content.
San Francisco Microscopical Society Archive
The San Francisco Microscopical Society have archives dating back to 1870, and recently started digitizing them as scanned images in PDF files.
s3-ocr is a tool for bulk OCRing PDF files in an S3 bucket and extracting out the resulting text into a searchable SQLite database.
Their archive site uses a templated Datasette instance to allow people to search and browse through their archives.
Building a searchable archive for the San Francisco Microscopical Society describes in detail how this project was built.
Global Power Plants
The World Resources Institute publishes a Global Power Plants Database with information about over 30,000 power plants around the world.
This Datasette instance presents those power plants on a map, using the datasette-cluster-map plugin to support zooming in to see individual plants.
