Description

Gentle and meme-sprinkled introduction to VisiData, an open source CLI spreadsheet application.

VisiData is an open-source data multitool that can be used to explore and arrange tabular data. It is a lightweight utility that combines the clarity of a spreadsheet, the efficiency of the terminal, and the power of Python. It can handle millions of rows with ease. VisiData supports tsv, csv, sqlite, json, xlsx (Excel), hdf5, and many other formats.

In this talk, I will discuss how VisiData can be used to perform various tasks such as sorting, filtering, merging and more. I will also talk about how VisiData has helped me in my work and how it can help others.

I am not affiliated with the project but use the app every day in my day job.
