I was thinking JavaScript plugins going with server side template extensions custom HTML. Attach my own widgets on there and listen for Datasette events to refresh when user interacts with main UI. Like a map view or table that updates according to selected column. There's certainly other ways to look at this. Perhaps you could list possible hooks or high level design doc on what would be possible with the plugin system?

Re: modules. I would like to see modules supported at least in development. The developer experience is so much better than what JavaScript coding has been in the past. With large parts of NPM at your disposal I’d imagine even less experienced coder can whisk a custom plugin in no time. Proper production build system (like one you get with Pika or Parcel) could package everything up into bundles that older browsers can understand. Though that does come with performance and size penalties alongside the added complexity.
