What I would like to see is a replacement for ncview. Despite being archaic in terms of its technology (e.g. it requires X11), it is still used daily by a huge number of scientists because it serves a very important need: quick visual examination of a netCDF dataset (also works on remote systems via X forwarding).

Imagine a modern implementation of ncview backed by xarray and holoviews/geoviews. $ xrview my_files.*.nc Found 3 data variables and 6 coordinates in dataset Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 (http://0.0.0.0:8000/) ...

This would spawn a web server providing an interactive web-based GUI explorer for all variables in the dataset. You could use this locally or on a remote system.

I think such an app would catch on like wildfire. But I agree completely that it is out of scope of xarray and belongs as a standalone project.
