Release datasette-ports 0.3 — Find all currently running Datasette instances and list their ports

A small update for my tool for helping me figure out what all of the Datasette instances on my laptop are up to.

  • Show working directory derived from each PID
  • Show the full path to each database file

Output now looks like this:

http://127.0.0.1:8007/ - v1.0a26

  Databases:
