#2I spend a lot of time in the terminal and want to quickly glance at a csv files without making a new script, opening excel, or using a tui. I made tidy-viewer (tv) because current tools like cat and column were not pretty enough.
tv modifies raw files in the following ways:
1. NA detection and highlighting 2. Printing only significant digits 3. Header and footer meta data
I have been using this a lot at work. There is a lot more work to do, but it is in a usable state.
Give it a try! If you like it then star on Github!

Love the idea! Already opened the issue and will merge a PR before the next release.

Ah, I didn't mean a newline at the end of the output. Just a space after your shell prompt ($), see e.g. `user@~/code/data$cat` in https://github.com/alexhallam/tv/blob/main/img/column_v_tv2.....

I have to agree, I felt dirty watching the recording. The project looks great, though.

#8Consider adding a code snippet showing a.csv output. I had to watch a video just to see text.

Not OP, but there's a screenshot under https://github.com/alexhallam/tv#1-na-comprehension.
Which is actually worse for screen reader users, I suppose.

This looks great! I wonder how long it’ll be until someone posts a long ask snippet that will do something similar and claim this isn’t progress, but rest assured that they are wrong. I’m adding tv to my toolbox.
