Publishing documents to the web is a well-served use case but publishing small indexes, databases and collections to the web is still an incredibly frustrating and under-served use case.
It’s easy enough to set up a blog and publish one’s thoughts chronologically, unfortunately there aren’t many tools that make it easy to set up a collection of things. The B2B market has many solutions to this problem, nearly all of them would be overkill for a small solo project — in scope, cost and complexity.
Much of the indieweb seems to rely on Airtable — I myself have used that in conjunction with 11ty in the past. It is far from ideal, very much a hack.
