Hey Product Hunt! ๐
I'm a data analyst who lives in the terminal. And at some point I got
tired of firing up Jupyter or pandas just to peek at a CSV or explore
a Parquet dump.
I used VisiData for a while โ great tool. But I kept hitting edges
that didn't fit my workflow. So I did what any terminal-obsessed
analyst would do: wrote my own.
tuitab is built around the way I actually explore
โ Open any file instantly โ CSV, TSV, JSON, Parquet, Excel, SQLite, DuckDB
โ Filter with regex, sort, pivot, JOIN two files in a wizard
โ Compute new columns on the fly with =expr
โ Plot histograms and charts without leaving the shell
โ Vim-style navigation โ hjkl, /, g/G โ feels like home
Fast even on large files (async loading for files > 10 MB).
Written in Rust. Zero Python, zero GUI.
Install in one line:
cargo install tuitab
brew install tuitab
Would love to hear from fellow terminal lovers โ what would make this
fit your workflow? Feedback and PRs are very welcome ๐
