Description

Basically bring https://github.com/brettcannon/mousebender/blob/main/mousebender/simple.py here. @d3r3kk and myself would do the work.

If people like this idea we can discuss if the API works for people, what the submodule should be named (index? simple? simpleindex? repoapi? repo?), etc.

We do want to do https://github.com/brettcannon/mousebender/issues/48 which has a PR at https://github.com/brettcannon/mousebender/pull/51 that's still being discussed, but I figured we don't really need to wait for that in order to upstream the rest of it now.
