I'm thinking about faceting improvements at the moment - they're such a powerful feature and there's definitely room for making them work and look better.

What do you mean by multivalued columns?

Datasette currently does have support for faceting by JSON arrays, e.g. on this page: https://musiccaps.datasette.io/musiccaps/musiccaps_details?_...

> faceting by JSON arrays

Yep that's is it. I should have read that facet page in the doc (just used the wrong keyword for search months ago)

btw, I played a bit more with faceting, and it is actually (functionally) good !

Datasette is (going to be) the "mpv" of DBs : An open (in code and in extensibility) standard for reading them. And that plugins system is a godsend. I will certainly delve into it more.
