When I tell them to do it in Excel by themselves, they would say Excel couldn't open a CSV larger than 1M rows...
At first, I was using sqlite through shell. I hated it so much that I built a desktop app on top of it. It wasn't slick enough with all the typing.
It is quite a joy to use, and I'd love for people to try it out: https://superintendent.app (disclaimer: I'm the creator).
Sure it can. Just use the "Import from Text/CSV" feature instead of directly opening the CSV. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-to-do-if-a-d...
To be honest, I'm still trying to find more a product market fit.
It feels like a travel planning app where people might need it once every few months, so it doesn't quite catch on.
On another hand, I do have a few passionate users who analyze 40+ CSVs at the same time, but I'm struggling to improve UX for these users. Building great UI is hard. But maybe this is what I need to do.
It’s $40/year for those wondering.
The price is very obvious on the website.
Users can't use it for an extended period of time without paying.
You said it like I was tricking people into paying somehow.
Hate to agree, but yes right there, 100 pixels above the download link, very nice and clear site, I heartily approve. Not sure how you'll get $1b of funding for something that user friendly though -- I don't see any dark patterns at all!
> Does your workplace reimburse software's cost?
I don't need your app, but my workplace certainly doesn't. I can buy all sorts of hardware from preferred suppliers through our purchasing system, I can with a few hoops generate a one-time credit card to buy a random thing from a random person (how I pay for starlink for example), and for some specific cases I can pay myself and claim back later
However software is blocked from all this.

To buy software in my company would take far longer than the 6 hours that I'd save each year! This of course is entirely the fault of my company, but I wonder how many other companies have similar policies.
What I can do though is spin up a AWS ami with a software charge and nobody bats an eyelid. I'm not sure how much of a "cut" aws takes, but something to think about.
(If it really helped me I'd just eat the $40 personally and take a day off in lieu, but I've known some people put in receiptless claims to get around the policy)
One thing I'm interested in is the dark pattern you accused me of.
Users literally cannot use it beyond the trial period if they don't pay, and I don't collect credit card info before the trial.
Are you saying someone might accidentally pay for this?
Almost a breath of fresh air!
