datasette 1.0a34

Datasette 1.0a34 introduces tools to insert, edit, and delete rows within its interface, a feature inspired by Datasette Agent's SQL write support. The update addresses the inconsistency where such operations were available via chat but not in the regular UI.

Release: datasette 1.0a34 Quoting the release notes:

The big feature in this alpha is tools to insert, edit and delete rows within the Datasette interface. These features are available on table pages, and edit and delete are also available as action items on the row page.

The inspiration for this feature - which is long overdue - was Datasette Agent. I added SQL write support to that the other day which highlighted how absurd it was that you could insert and edit ties via the chat interface but not in the regular Datasette UI!
