I'm not keen on mixing in metadata as well - that feels like a different concept to me, and I'm unhappy with how that's already had things like plugin settings leak into it.

I'm not yet sold on TOML - I actually find it less intuitive than YAML, surprisingly. They all have their warts I guess.

Datasette already has the ability to consume JSON or YAML for metadata - maybe it could grow TOML support too? That way users could have a `datasette.json` or `datasette.yaml` or `datasette.toml` file depending on their preference.

In terms of metadata: since that's means to be driven by a plugin hook anyway, maybe one of the potential sources of metadata is a `metadata` nested object in that `datasette.*` configuration file. Or you can have it in a separate `metadata.json` or bundled into the SQLite database or some other plugin-driven mechanism.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1781530343,
