- ericpruitt 2y agoCould you explain what made you prefer visidata over SCIM?
- Exuma 2y agofor one i work with GB large files and vd instantly opens them. SCIM it took a lot of painful seconds to open 14mb file
- khimaros 2y agofast loading of massive datasets and built-in support for SQLite tables. i also found the interaction to be more intuitive, which is important for a tool i pick up sporadically.
- steinuil 2y agoThat's really neat, I've been looking exactly for a spreadsheet TUI to browse and edit SQLite dbs. Cheers!
- cess11 2y agoProbably some of the functionality showed off here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1CBDTgGtOU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1CBDTgGtOU , besides the handling of large amounts of data.
- VagabundoP 2y agoJust tried it and Visidata is awesome. Just loading SQLite dbs is a killer feature with the TUI.
- Gormo 2y agoVisidata blows everything else in this category out of the water. I can open a table on a remote Postgres DB, use a regex filter to select the records I want, then do an outer join to a local CSV, all with just a few keystrokes.
