Show HN: Redframes, a Python data manipulation library like dplyr

redframes is a new data manipulation library specifically designed for ML/vis workflows.
I built the library to solve/address some of the things that I perennially find frustrating about pandas, namely:
- inconsistent syntax
- unpredictable side-effects
- six ways to do the same thing
While redframes admittedly does "less", I see it kind of like Trello (if pandas were Jira).
It's a hyper focused tool that can help you build matplotlib charts or scikit-learn models faster with:
- verbs
- method chaining
- lambda functions
redframes is the tool that I wish I had when I moved from R to Python.
While there have been several attempts at porting over dplyr to Python, redframes embraces everything great about Python and borrows heavily from the grammar created by dplyr~
