Publish ("export") to web with authentication and metadata (minimum feature set)

[Mjboothaus]

Datasette can already publish to fly.io etc. as you documented here:
https://datasette.io/for/publishing-data

@simonw - Would be great if the app version could have "one-click" deployment with (default) account config files and secrets [either or both YAML, TOML formats].

Happy to discuss further (or I can do a screen record).

Here is a simple DEV environment example of Australian COVID data snapshot at a point-in-time (i.e. I don't have refresh on a schedule yet - am thinking a Prefect job?]

https://aus-covid-datasette.fly.dev

although this doesn't have any authentication turned on (yet).

p.s. I'm finding this data analytics Product Management course very inexpensive and helpful - https://www.udemy.com/course/the-product-management-for-data-science-ai-course

I definitely want to do this! Publish is currently entirely handled using a CLI, but there's no reason at all that a Datasette plugin couldn't turn publish into a much more user-friendly web interface, which would then make publishing from the app easy.

p.s.s. Apologies our support is only USD $10 / month currently. We hope to increase it in 2022.

Exactly my thinking! Could we collaborate on this? Or it is just really too easy for you to do solo?

I have booked in 20 mins in Datasette Office Hours to discuss with that works @simonw

i.e. Fri 2021-10-15 16:00 – 16:20 Pacific Time - Los Angeles

Also wanted to tell you about Beach Pollution database / Datasette instance - one of our (open data) applications and seek your wisdom.
