by grifting website do you mean the astrological mapping website that was used to calculate this data & is not owned by OP in any way, shape or form?

my mistake then, I didn’t see OP’s claim when I clicked his profile earlier, & after googling it does seem like he is Petr Soural, but astro-seek is still a website that’s been used in the astrology community for years, has many different developers, creators & contributors associated with it (with at least five beside himself listed on the contact page) & one of its features is still astrological mapping - which is essentially the same thing as establishing an ephemerides database; it’s the same data, it’s just being used for a different purpose, & it still isn’t a ‘grift’. you’re dismissing something you don’t know anything about, making assumptions because ‘astrology’ & saying it doesn’t belong here, despite it being mathematical data, & that’s what I was trying to point out. it’s literally data & it’s literally beautiful.
eta - genuine question, would any other programmer or developer be discouraged from sharing their datasets here?
