Simon Willison has launched the 'datasette-apps' plugin, enabling users to host self-contained HTML, CSS, and JavaScript applications within a secure, sandboxed iframe inside Datasette. These apps can interact with Datasette's data via read-only or configured write SQL queries while being protected from external network access and storage leaks.
Background
Datasette is an open-source tool for exploring and publishing data, often used for SQL databases and APIs. This update expands its capabilities by allowing embedded, secure client-side applications directly within the platform.
