Data explorer histogram and summary statistics #3935

Hey!

I love positrons and I love that it has a data explorer out of the box. However, and taking inspiration of Data Wrangler VSC extension it would be great if you can add some summary statistics per variable and a mini histogram. And when I mean mini I mean mini. In the Data Wrangler VSC that info is taking up to much space at the top of the data frame. I think your approach is better, on the side, but I think that some "small multiple" histogram Tufte style would be great, and have some additional information beyond the current missing values, like percentage of distinct values, max min median or other relevant descriptive stats. I really think that the histograms should be small and it would be cool that clicking on then you can make them slightly bigger for a quick exploration.

We definitely have plans along these lines for the Data Explorer! You can see all issues for the Data Explorer here and specific tracking for initial summary statistics here.
