Datasette’s new plugin enables SaaS platforms to host self-contained HTML/JS apps directly on data instances, allowing customers to build custom dashboards and tools with full SQL access—while a strict sandbox prevents data leaks. This opens new avenues for embedded analytics and internal tools without external dependencies.
