Show HN: A simple CLI csv viewer

I mostly started this to do a fun little prototype in an evening, but now I'm a bit excited about it and might add new features over time.

This just grew out of frustration that I couldn't find a simple CLI tool to view .csv files in a sane way.

When I grew up and my parents got their first 386 PC, my dad would always have Lotus 1-2-3 open while I would stare over his shoulder. I was 7 years old and completely obsessed about computers no matter how boring the task. So this is dedicated to him. Thanks for sparking the flame.

Vi user here. Will definitely check this out. Thanks for the work.

Could you write also Python-version of this script?

Checkout visidata.

I wanted to use a language that would compile to a binary, not sure what a python version would offer!
