Datasette Lite: Fork

Datasette, a python-based data exploration tool running in the browser using WebAssembly and Pyodide. See the main Github repository for more details

Why fork?

• Make it easier to iterate on Datasette-Lite features by splitting the Datasette-Lite demo into smaller pieces
• Make it easier use libraries when writing webworker/serviceworker code

Costs

• Adding a build system adds some maintenance complexity that may make some types of debugging harder
• Contributing may become easier for frontend developers, but harder for developers who are not regularly keeping NodeJS up to date on their systems. This is a tradeoff I'm willing to make while hacking, but may change to a simpler templating system in the future

Fork changes

• Add a build system to enable developing code into smaller pieces
• Make site analytics code optional

Development
