Very pleased to announce Blackfoot Words, a database of lexical forms from
legacy language documentation materials of Blackfoot. Version 1 is now
live, and we are actively expanding. https://www.blackfootwords.com/

We would be happy to have some beta testers explore our website and API.
There's a few bugs with the API (**cough** because it's free **cough**),
but it's useable! (You'll have to message me for a login.) All comments
welcome.

The database schema and data is archived in a Zenodo repository, for those
who work with MySQL. https://zenodo.org/record/5774981

The Blackfoot Lab has now officially submitted a paper describing the
database structure. https://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/006352
