Datasette Publish: a web app for publishing CSV files as an online database

This is essentially a web app that helps you deploy new instances of my Datasette application https://github.com/simonw/datasette without having to install anything on your own machine first.

I'm using new features of the Zeit API - https://zeit.co/api - which makes it trivial to build apps that themselves deploy other apps. You dynamically construct a Dockerfile plus associated files, POST it to their deployment API and get back a URL which will host the resulting container: https://zeit.co/api#endpoints/deployments

The possibilities with this kind of API are pretty amazing. Here's their announcement: https://zeit.co/blog/api-2
