VisiData Turns 5

VisiData is proof of how powerful yet intuitive TUI tools can be. vd particularly excels when you need to answer a quick question about a dataset and avoid opening up a clunky Jupyter notebook. I particularly love the support for writing quick Python expressions to manipulate the data inline too.

Saul, thank you for bringing such a wonderful tool into the world! It really fills me with joy every time I use it. I’m quite bullish on TUI tools largely because of vd—it feels like there’s a lot more good work to be done in this space.

Author of VisiData here. It's been quite a ride over the past 5 years, and there's still more to come. Ask me anything!
