Right now, I usually have a line in a Makefile like this:

make combined.geojson: project.db pipenv run datasette project.db --get /project/combined.geojson \ --load-extension spatialite \ --setting sql_time_limit_ms 5000 \ --setting max_returned_rows 20000 \ -m metadata.yml > $@

That all assumes I've loaded whatever I need into project.db and created a canned query called combined (and then uses datasette-geojson for geojson output).

It works, but as you can see, it's a lot to manage, a lot of boilerplate, and it wasn't obvious how to get there. If there's an error in the canned query, I get an HTML error page, so that's hard to debug. And it's only one query, so each output needs a line like this. Make isn't ideal, either, for that reason.

The thing I really liked with datafreeze was doing templated filenames. I have a project now where I need to export a bunch of litttle geojson files, based on queries, and it would be awesome to be able to do something like this:

yml databases: project: queries: boundaries: sql: "SELECT * FROM boundaries" filename: "boundaries/{id}.geojson" mode: "item" format: geojson

And then do:

sh datasette freeze -m metadata.yml project.db

For HTML export, maybe there's a template argument, or format: template or something. And that gets you a static site generator, kinda for free.
