This indexer was made by co-creator of Lemmy, our very own Dessalines!
- FYI, he created Lemmy alone. Nutomic and others began contributing a bit later.
- Oh wow didn't know that! Love it
- No way! Wow, must be a pretty clever cookie!
- Why is it called Lenny and not dessy ?
  
  Maybe he's a Motörhead fan? (Lemmy Kilmister)
Wonder how active the project is, to date they still haven't included the old RARBG torrents.

I am not sure, a CSV file is technically a data source equal to a database, so how is this different from sites that collect torrent-links (which are targeted by anti-piracy organisations?)? The fact that it is self-hostable?
- You can open a csv in Excel and edit it like a regular spreadsheet.
  
  Yeah just like I can edit records in the database?
  I'm not trying to be critical of the project, I really want to know what makes this project different than a shared database , if that is what it is?
  
  Sp can I with SQL and SQlite?
In what way this is better than DHT?
This is a neat concept
I've gotten some hard to find stuff from here.
