One challenge with this feature is that it confuses the messaging about what Datasette does somewhat.

Prior to shipping this, Datasette's core value proposition is as a way to publish read-only data.

That changed a little in 0.37 in February when plugins gained the supported ability to execute writes, but there was no way of doing that without a plugin.

With this feature, Datasette becomes a read-write database solution.

I should update the documentation to help explain this. Essentially the message is that Datasette can be used in one of two "modes" - it can be used just for sharing/publishing data, or you can use it to collect and manage data, most likely still in collaboration with plugins for things like authentication.
