I think the best solution would be having a `datasette.json` config file, where you "configure" your datasette instances, with settings, permissions/auth, plugin configuration, and table settings (sortable column, label columns, etc.). Which #2093 would do. Then optionally, you have a `metadata.json`, or use `datasette_metadata`, or some other plugin to define metadata (ex the future [sqlite-docs](https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-docs) plugin). Everything in `datasette.json` could also be overwritten by CLI flags, like `--setting key value`, `--plugin xxxx key value`. We could even completely remove `settings.json` in favor or just `datasette.json`. Mostly because I think the less files the better, especially if they have generic names like `settings.json` or `config.json`. | { "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0 } |
