sc-im VS chafa

While not built around CSV, two terminal spreadsheet tools I have successfully used in the past are sc-im and the (neo)vim plugin vim-table-mode:

https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-table-mode

Back then I stopped using sc-im because it could not import/export XLSX, if I remember correctly. Apparently it can today!

vim-table-mode always felt a little fragile and I don't want to be bound to vim anymore. That said, it still feels like a small miracle to me to have functional spreadsheet formulas inside markdown documents – calculation and typesetting all in one place.

app-office/sc-im "Ncurses based, vim-like spreadsheet calculator (https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im)" perhaps?

Lurking around for text based spreadsheets for Linux brought this one, which can import/export xls and xlsx, use GNUPlot for graphing and Lua for scripting.

Already packaged in Debian and Alpine, possibly others.

There's sc-im: https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im

I think VisiData will be just the ticket. I'm not a pro at using it, personally. It's way too much for my needs, so I just use sc-im.

Anybody here? I have used vd for a bit and just came across sc-im.

this was literally the first result on mu seaech engine: https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im

Like some people here and under this post said, I like Kitty and would recommend it to anyone who uses/used Alacritty, as they are very similar in surface. I actually switch between Alacritty and Kitty pretty often, depending on my "mood". I recently went back to Kitty for image support (through chafa though, for better compatibility across terminal emulators). However, Wayland support is poor and I have some issues with fonts being too bold, although it could just be my config...

If you use a more modern terminal you can also use stuff like:

There's also https://github.com/princejoogie/chafa.nvim, which wraps https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa Did you know about that? I wonder what the differences between your plugin and that one are?

Hello r/Python! I'm here to introduce you to a project I've been working on called chafa.py source. These are Python bindings for the amazing terminal image visualizer Chafa.

this is a plugin that wraps the functionality of chafa into neovim. chafa is a way to display images in the terminal by converting it into ANSI escape sequences.

I guess it is using https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa for that, and it needs to be using https://github.com/seebye/ueberzug/tree/2c55173878906c3b221cdef16cf083f0c412bb58

See also https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa which is an image -> ANSI art library written in C. I built it into my BBS so users can embed images in their posts. Some turn out better than others but it gives the board a unique feel at least.
