Unravel: A Fluent Code Explorer for Data Wrangling
summary
Unravel is a web app embedded in RStudio that opens when code is piped to unravel and surfaces intermediate dataframes with always-on visualizations and autogenerated function summaries. It supports drag-and-drop reordering and toggle switches to (un)comment so users reorder or disable steps without editing code. Reordering shows surprising effects (e.g., missing values appear in other columns). A first-use study with 14 data scientists shows it aids validating assumptions, exploring alternatives, and revealing function behavior.
