I made CSV viewing simple and fast

1•anirudh_parmar•2h ago

Whenever i wanted to view a csv file, i'd always come across these sites that offer free viewing.

sure, they get the work done but at the cost of - bad ui/ux - bloated with ads - simple but lacks clarity

So, I built my own CSV app that is the best when it comes to CSV without compromises.

Solving my own problem with the already existing options out there.

My App has it all covered :

- no bloat - clarity - speed - performance

What tools do you currently use to view or convert CSV files, and why those?

Excel

Do you use online tools for simple things like this ?? for maybe a bit faster output

Google Sheets.

A CSV file is just a list of records (rows and columns).

Got it, out of curiosity, what do you usually need to do with CSV files once you open them

Convert into a spreadsheet format so that I can apply transformations, calculations, summations, what/if scenarios via pivot tables, Monte Carlo simulations, etc.

Or just nice formatting.
