I personally feel that showing a preliminary rendering of the imported dataset in the cli has merit, but it could strike the layman as a wee bit intimidating and might not be necessary for a clean CLI look. In the first screenshot here, it was rendered comparatively well, but I still feel it is a lot of text and lines and the cli might appear more friendly without it.

The second screenshot refers to the Russia Ukraine dataset, which had a lot more columns. Here, the attempt to render it was incomprehensible!

@sandytribal this is a bit insane haha. There are a few ways to do this:

  • Only show data for the first N columns and drop the rest
  • Only show the column names, with one column per line:
  • Only show the column names and maybe the first row of data

Note though that this is going likely going to be revamped as part of the effort to move the column labeling upstream, stay tuned!
