I've been a web dev for seven years now, and most of the sites I've worked on have used a database, API or a text format like Markdown as the primary source of content.
However, there's been a few more unusual ones down the years. I once inherited a Tumblr blog for a client that pulled the navigation data from Google Sheets, and once built a static site generator to build a site from two CSV files of equipment listings.
Do you have a story like this? What unusual data sources or backends have you used or inherited?
