dtale VS datasette

[D-Tale](https://github.com/man-group/dtale) has recently released version 3.2.0 on pypi & conda-forge: ``` pip install -U dtale conda install dtale -c conda-forge ``` But if you want to take it one step further you can now integrate it with [ArcticDB](https://github.com/man-group/ArcticDB): ``` pip install -U dtale[arcticdb] ``` This allows you the ability to navigate your libraries of datasets saved to your ArcticDB database! But the best part is that all the reads are occuring directly against ArcticDB so some of the memory constraints you may have been hit with before are now a thing of the past. Here's a full write up how to use this functionality along with a quick demo: https://github.com/man-group/dtale/blob/master/docs/arcticdb/ARCTICDB\_INTEGRATION.md Hope this helps & please support open-source by throwing your star on the [repo](https://github.com/man-group/dtale). Thanks! 🙏

I've looked into external tooling, libs such as dtale, which feel overly complicated for my use case (but I'm open to alternatives). What I would like to have instead is something akin to Spyder's variable viewer, which allows sorting by column. VSCode goes a step further and also provides the ability to filter the dataframe.

I find that I'm actually a lot faster using basic Pandas methods to get the data I want in exactly the form I want it.

If I really want to show everything, I just use:

Just added "Time Series Analysis" in v1.60.1 of D-Tale on pypi & conda-forge: pip install -U dtale conda install dtale -c conda-forge This feature provides a quick and easy way to visualize the usage of the following time series analysis function in statsmodels:

Your data is stored in memory so the size of your dataframe is limited to the memory of your machine. That being said we’ve allowed users to swap out the machanism which stores the data so you can use something like Redis or Shelve to allieviate memory. Here’s some documentation: https://github.com/man-group/dtale/blob/master/docs/GLOBAL_STATE.md

Simon Willison's github would be a great place to get started imo -

I'm a fan on simonw's datasette/dogsheep ecosystem https://datasette.io/

I use Anki the exact same way. After a lifetime of learning I have accepted that I will never read over anything I write for myself voluntarily - so my two options are:

1. Write an article so good I can publish it and look it over myself later on. I did this last year with https://andrew-quinn.me/fzf/, for example.

2. Create Anki cards out of the material. Use the builtin Card Browser or even https://datasette.io/ on the underlying SQLite database in a pinch to search for my notes any time I have to.

Were you aware of, or tempted by https://datasette.io/ for creating your solution?

Browsing HN, GitHub and the like we get to see a huge variety of software products and code bases.

I often see products and think - if this product X, got together with Y, it would be pretty cool - kind of like if they had a kid together.

Not too literally, but more on the conceptual level - my level of programming is low.

E.g. Just some....

You might like the Datasette project: https://datasette.io/

I don't think they are desperate for contributions but it's a welcoming environment and a fun project to hack on. You'll learn a lot just from reading the source and the incredibly informative PRs. The creator is a really talented developer with a great blog which shows up on the HN front page often.

Last year I worked through the challenges using VisiData, Datasette, and Pandas. I walked through my thought process and solutions in a series of posts.
