visidata VS calcurse

[4] "Is it possible to "flatten" structured data (like JSON?)": https://github.com/saulpw/visidata/discussions/1605

I also find VisiData is useful for adhoc exploring of JSON data. You can also use it to explore multiple other formats. I find it really helpful, plus it gives that little burst of adrenaline from its responsive TUI, similar to fx and jless mentioned.

For my toolbox I include jq, gron, miller, VisiData, in addition to classics like sed, awk, and perl.

Have you heard of Visidata

One of my common use cases is for parallelizing ad-hoc REST API on large batch data by using it in conjunction with cURL (or one-off Python or PHP scripts), jq and VisiData.

The Windows CLI is unfriendly to developers, a bit of shoving great-grandpa in the corner (despite its origins in DOS); as such, CLI developers tend not to spend much time investing in Windows-native TUI applications. With WSL, you at least mitigate a lot of that, opening you (OP) to the *nix world of CLI/TUI applications. Within WSL, you (OP) might also investigate calcurse which allows you to associate items like notes with dates. Or check out remind, my favorite, but focused more on complex calendaring rather than journaling (for my journaling, I just have a single text-file)

Try calcurse.

If you, well, almost borrow your name from calcurse, then shouldn't you highlight the key differences from your rival?

calcurse: fairly complex with events, reminders, notes/todos, as well as the ability to import/export .ics iCal files, customizable layout choices, etc.

Most folks are used to a pretty visual calendar like Google Calendar or calcurse with wizards for creating events, so entering them in a text-file feels archaic/baroque. But using remind gives me a LOT more power for creating events that do weird things like having my entries modify their text based on presentation or calculations (e.g. birthday events that say "Joe turns 31 in 7 days", adjusting the age each year and giving multiple days of countdown notice), crazy things like having repeating events that shift around conditionally ("trash day is on Thursday, but if there was a holiday earlier in the week, move trash day to Friday").

Interested in checking this out! Is it called calcurse though? Can find one named cursecal.

calcurse a text-based calendar and scheduling application

There are a few cli calendars. The one I been using mostly has been calcurse http://calcurse.org/

For a less-powerful option that does use .ics format (I think) there's calcurse. It supports (but doesn't require) caldav.
