Hi, I discovered a pretty awesome tool yesterday related to text files / tables / text processing in the console, I thought I'd highlight it here since I suspect a lot of you might be interested in this.
I've had it in the back of my mind to build a renderer / visualizer for CSV files for curses, either as an Emacs mode or as a standalone tool, for a very long time. I remember looking for this years ago and it didn't exist and I thought "this is crazy." And it seems as the years go by, I'm using less and less GUI programs--tmux was a big discontinuity in that direction--and basically, I can be pretty complete with just a terminal and Chrome (of course in the terminal I need to run Emacs and bash and all that good stuff). So the idea that I can't even render and filter and arrange tables in the console was bother me. Well someone has built one, in Python, and it's really slick and looks stable: https://www.visidata.org/ It not only renders the CSV files as tables in the console, but provides a bunch of clever editing features as well. As I'll be moving Beancount's query engine to work on more general tables, this tool will be a really great complement, especially if it can be used as a pager.
