I just started using #visidata three days ago, and it's already become indispensable to me. It's now my main way to view #MicrosoftExcel files / #csv

The shift+F frequency tables are simply genius. Also, the easy joins and the columns statistics and well... Everything.

Thanks for all of your hard work!

One of my favorite features is the ability to do joins very quickly / easily.

Like sure, I could use duckdb / Polars / pandas, but Visidata does a great job without me having to write a single line of code. Plus, it has the replay functionality, so it's really easy to reload files and exploring them in a diff way.
