- hamilton 2y ago(I designed and built the Column Explorer feature) Observable's column summary feature is very nice! But I do think there's a very common lineage around these kinds of diagnostics which motivated both Observables and ours. See Jeff Heer's profiler paper[1] for more. I'm very passionate about this area because I think "first mile problems" are underserved by most tools, but they take the longest to work out. We had to do some gnarly things[2] to make this feature work well; and there's a lot of room to make it scale nicely and cover all DuckDB data types.

- oulipo 2y agoInteresting, I guess there's plenty of ideas to grab from their work too! https://observablehq.com/documentation/cells/data-table https://observablehq.com/documentation/cells/data-table
- thenaturalist 2y agoPersonally, thank you for this awesome work! I find the ease and intuitiveness of navigating it as well as the clarity of the information presented even for the density of a small window or many columns outstandingly pleasant. Kudos to you!
