Show HN: Transform Data Without Programming – 18 month followup
- hermitcrab 6y agoI posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21165736 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21165736 in Oct-2019 and got some very useful feedback. So this is a follow-up 18 months on. I have been working hard while stuck at home during various COVID lockdowns and have addressed a lot of the feedback in the original post, plus feedback from customers. * There is a lot more information on the website. * The following input formats are supported: CSV, Excel, vCard, XML, JSON and fixed width. * The following output formats are supported: CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, Markdown, vCard, HTML, YAML. * There are 50 transforms. * The suggested 'Lookup' transform has been added. * The suggested 'Javascript' transform has been added. This allows you to write your own transform if one of the other 49 transforms doesn't do what you need. * You can now show frequency of values in a column by double clicking on the column header. * It is now out of beta and we are charging a one-time fee of just $99+tax per user. * Runs on Windows and Mac (including M1 Macs). Still no Linux version though! * Lots of ideas for future improvements including: REST API/ODBC/FTP input/output, multi-threading, charts, server with scheduler. Happy to answer any questions.
