Show HN: I built a CSV/XLSX editor that uses JavaScript to manipulate data (OSS)

3 points by crossing 2 days ago

Hi everyone,

I work in enterprise IT, handling diverse data exports from various systems/APIs.

Frustrated by:

1. The need for different tools based on file formats.

2. The lack of tools optimized for quickly understanding data.

3. Messy files often need to be cleaned before use.

... I built my own solution as a side project and a fun way to learn React and Tailwind.

Maybe it helps others as well.

It aims to be both:

- Simple: Just drag and drop a file; it automatically detects encoding, delimiter, headers, etc.

- Powerful: Run arbitrary JavaScript to filter and transform data at scale.

I’d love to hear your feedback!
