Oh - they didn't train silently already?! ;-) Going to move my repositories then next week.

LOL ... I can absolutely feel your pain. That's exactly why I created for myself a graphical approach. I shared the first version with friends and it turned into "ColumnLens" (ImGUI on Mac) app. Here is a use case from the healthcare industry: https://columnlens.com/industries/medical

I'm glad you adjusted the CSS while I was typing my comment. I needed to switch to dark mode to be able to read highlighted words.

Nice write up. I will try out your tool.

LOL ... came here to grips about that!

Also "jg" reads very similar to "jq", and initially I thought he was talking about "jq" all along, and I was like: where can I see the "jasongrep" examples? Threw me off for a minute.

Author here. Happy to answer questions about the process. Hope this helps other developers to ship blazing fast ImGUI apps.

Thank you! Totally agreed.

Full disclosure: I’m a much better C++ developer than I am a marketer, so I asked Claude to help me write this post. Which is a bit ironic given that ColumnLens is literally about keeping your data local and off other people’s servers. Anyway — the app is real, the numbers are real, and the frustration with uploading CSVs to SaaS tools is very real. ;-)

This is a very smart move and I love it! Absolutely the best device I can get for my parents.

Favorite server is localhost

Sorry ... I read XAMPP! Now I know why I got downvoted

I started experimenting with custom HTML elements for my dashboard project THINK (live at https://think.iotdata.systems) and I’ve been really surprised by how much functionality you can get with just vanilla web components. The source is on my GitHub, and I’ve been documenting my other projects and work at https://marchildmann.com if anyone’s curious what else I’m building.
