- datasette-plot is a new Datasette plugin for creating visualizations from tables and SQL queries, serving as a successor to datasette-vega with more chart types and better integration.
- It leverages Observable Plot, a JavaScript visualization framework known for simplicity and beauty, allowing complex charts like stacked area charts with minimal code.
- After installation, users can access 'Show plot' on tables or SQL queries, customize visualizations with multiple marks, and share them via encoded URLs.
- Future plans include adding more visualization marks, improving sharing options for reusable charts, and supporting richer data types like dates.
