I'm a very passive hackernews reader, and don't engage much with posts. I want to break that passivity to say that Visidata is the tool that has given me the greatest joy out of any other piece of software I've ever used.

`vd` is amazing; I used to fire a Notebook + pandas any time i had to deal with a CSV/excel file. Now, I can do most of it just from `vd`.

Can't believe I didn't know about this before. Just shared this with our entire dev team and they like it!

Does it have vi keybindings?

Yes, and they are active by default.

Visidata is such a gem of software! A real good example of what kind of UIs are possible for "power users"

I just recently started the move back from GUI to CLI, and tools like this only reinforce my decision :).

Thanks for sharing.

Wow very cool. Probably an allusion to VisiCalc in the name?

Wow! Where has this been hiding? And looking forward to trying csv.vim.

2nded!
