sideview: Explore and Join Many Tables on a Zoomable Canvas

Lays out many data frames side by side as cards on a pan-and-zoom canvas, either as a 'shiny' gadget for 'RStudio' or as an 'htmlwidgets' widget for 'R Markdown' and 'Quarto' pages. Drawing a line between two columns writes the 'dplyr' join and checks it first: match rates, unmatched keys and the key relationship. Sorts, filters and other steps build up a readable pipeline of R code, and a column inspector exports a data dictionary. An optional large language model (LLM) assistant, using 'Ollama' or an 'OpenAI'-compatible service, suggests 'tidyverse' code from the table schema only, never the data rows.
