VisiData

9:54pm - got @VisiData installed, going through @jsvine's tutorial * 9:57pm - ...oh my * 10:12pm - holy shit

Something wonderful happened today: I met @saulfp the inventor of @VisiData, I met Anja Kefala, who takes care of VisiData, and I met @jmreagle a member of the beautiful community of visidata. Thank you, you are beautiful people

I'll be hosting drop-in @visidata office hours, this upcoming Friday April 28th at 10am PDT. Bring a question, bring an issue, bring a friend, all are welcome to come chat with me and other VisiData nuts. Time: everytimezone.com/s/9b61cd1e Place: whereby.com/visidata

@driscollis @matplotlib @plotlygraphs @bokeh :-) Visidata!

visidata can save views (e.g. filters, sorts, freq. tables) with the typical `Ctrl+S`, or yank to the system clipboard with `gY` It can do this export in various formats (tho GitHub markdown table format didn't work for me #table-format" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/astanin/python…) using `python-tabulate` package

Starting to get the hang of visidata: `#` / `%` sets col. as int/float `[` / `]` sort ⇡/⇣ `=` creates a new col. via Python expr (col. names are variables & tab complete), `g=`/`z=` overwrites col/row Lovely stuff man: visidata.org/man/ col docs: visidata.org/docs/columns/

Hilo de recomendación🧵: Visidata (visidata.org). Un CLI para una spreadsheet. 1/9

Che meraviglia: con @frictionlessd8a 5.10, @VisiData è integrato nativamente. Tutto a partire dal nuovo comando "explore" Sia per leggere un file locale, che una lista di risorse da @ZENODO_ORG Cose che @pcmasuzzo e @DennisAngemi devono sapere

Today i found awesome and really fast cli tool to view csv files. It looks way better than csvlook | less. it also shows headers on top when you scroll sudo apt install visidata; vd file.csv

@jsvine 's @VisiData tutorial at #NICAR23 wound up being immediately useful for poking around in Cal eProcure. Allow me to present some of California's weirder Walgreens purchaces: slate.com/business/2023/…

Hey everyone, @VisiData now has a Mastodon account! You can now follow @VisiData@fosstodon.org to get notice of all things VisiData. Hope to see you there!

Just used visidata for the first time I'm yelling

@mmngreco Hi @mmngreco, it's hard to do support over Twitter. Can you create a discussion on Github?

@visidata its possible to change the format of a file once it's opened ? context: I've opened a csv file then ive pressed o and selected a shp file and it's not recognizing the format Correctly.

1/ Me in 2012: 1. could not open a 2GB file with excel 2. frustrated that people are too busy to help me 3. wrote my first "hello world" ------- Me in 2023: 1. happily play with visidata visidata.org 2. share and teach others computation 3. share unix and R tricks

I'm enjoying building small quick command line tools around visidata. Particularly nice for spot-checking parquet which I've usually had to use a custom python or R script in the past.
