How different is this from visidata?


Visidata does far more than less-sheet. I see less-sheet closer to macOS's "Preview" than to visidata or excel: a tool to quickly look at the contents of CSV, not to work on it.

Visidata also gives us a quick preview even with large files (e.g 10GB, 2000 columns), but the entire file is loaded in the background, which might be a problem. Less-sheet on the other hand does not hold the data in memory beyond what's needed to fill the window, so the memory usage is similar independent of file size.

It's also a GUI instead of TUI, for people that prefer GUIs, and guesses the CSV parameters (separator, quote char, etc) while offering quick toggles to fix wrong guesses. Beyond that it only offers some column formatting options: hide, change data type and basic formatting.


It looks on partiy with stellarium and likes for a noob. I've use those maybe a decade or so ago when I was in school. Never, got into much astronomy, maybe I can give it a try now with some walkthrough by claude


Is it already available in android? Without plugin?


On android, you can use Firefox with ublock origin plugin. Works great, blocks youtube ads too.


Why would you ever use this over ublock


Because ublock is a scam. But why would you use it over ublock origin, which isn't a scam?


Looks neat, i hope the librespot issues from the initial days don't come up here


It's just convenient and I don't notice the issues that much for it to be a problem
