datavzrd is a zero/low-code, interactive, visual, server-free, browser-based reporting tool for tabular datasets.
The paper makes an interesting statement:
Most spreadsheet applications, including Excel, lack the capability to quickly and easily visualize different columns of a dataset. They also do not support reproducibility of results for similar datasets without repeating the work.
This last point is key. For example, if you need to review data monthly, then tools like this make a lot of sense. They can be completely automated. You don’t have to manually muck around in a spreadsheet every month, which can be tedious and prone to errors.
This is another example of the trend toward simple data formats and flexible tools. YAML, CSV, and Markdown are the file formats of the future. Simple data formats + powerful tools is the formula that scales.
