Cool, I will be playing with this tonight.

I haven't built a webapp in several years, and was just trying to find a way to offer access to a DB for a non-technical person. After seeing my options for UI were (still!) basically Access and go-build-something, was resigned to losing my weekend to coming back up to speed with Django, but it looks like this should be fine.

Yes, you can say we are advanced version of MS Access for all databases that can talk to even 3rd party apps.

You should check out Stacker [0] and see if it works for your usecase - we let you build apps without code using Airtable or Google Sheets as a backend. Might be what you need if time is of the essence and you don't want to worry about hosting either. I work at Stacker, my email's in my profile if you have any questions.
