Getting started¶

Play with a live demo¶

The best way to experience Datasette for the first time is with a demo:

• global-power-plants.datasettes.com provides a searchable database of power plants around the world, using data from the World Resources Institude rendered using the datasette-cluster-map plugin.
• fivethirtyeight.datasettes.com shows Datasette running against over 400 datasets imported from the FiveThirtyEight GitHub repository.

Try Datasette without installing anything using Glitch¶

Glitch is a free online tool for building web apps directly from your web browser. You can use Glitch to try out Datasette without needing to install any software on your own computer.

Here's a demo project on Glitch which you can use as the basis for your own experiments:

Glitch allows you to "remix" any project to create your own copy and start editing it in your browser. You can remix the datasette-csvs project by clicking this button:
