I am using VSCodium to develop a small data app.

I have installed the main Jupyter (ms-toolsai version, do not know if the luma version would be any different) and most of the accessory ones and I noticed that clicking on the icon to view a variable suggests to install a data viewer extension and refers to the Extension list with a "jupyterdataviewer" tag.

I read online that the Data Wrangler extension by Microsoft is not made available on OpenVSX and I was wondering if those of you who use VSCodium have found an alternative or if there is another, maybe even better way to view a dataframe while debugging.

Sorry for the maybe too basic question, but I am a beginner in programming in general, although willing to try to learn on a fully opensource stack.

I've switched from VSCodium to Positron. I've found it's data science focused integrations to be much nicer.

Positron is a VScodium fork so it should be a pretty small effort for you to try it out.
