Hello All, I'm Tejas Sangoi.
I have been developing Shopify apps for the past 5 years. Currently working on a new project csvbox.io to solve a common problem that I have faced many times.
There have been many applications where we needed to accept spreadsheets from the end customers. Building an importer from scratch is time consuming and maintaining it is another headache. Moreover, the import process for the customers is messy because they have to read the docs and follow the upload templates. In many cases, after long support email threads we ultimately have to manually accept, clean and input the data.
As a solution I built the csvbox.io import widget. Its a no code, drop-in widget that allows you to accept files in minutes. Users can upload files, match columns, validate data all in a few clicks. You receive ready to use data in your app. A better experience for your customers, fewer headaches for your team!
I launched it only a few days ago. Happy to receive feedback on everything - UI/UX, features, pricing etc.
- adamhp 5y agoTypo on the main page: Featues? :)
- spreadr 5y agoCorrected now :)
- xmpirate 5y agoIt would be nice to have the ability to send data to API in batches instead of sending all data in bulk. This is really helpful when sending huge csv/excel files.
- xmpirate 5y agoOr an ability to stream the data rows
- spreadr 5y agoIf you configure chunk size = 1 then the data will be pushed one row at a time.
- spreadr 5y agoThanks for writing. We do have that option. You can even configure the chunk size that defines the number of rows to be pushed in each POST request.
- airblade 5y agoThis is a nifty idea for a product. Does / will your system import images in spreadsheets?
- spreadr 5y agoThank you! Currently, the widget does not support images. Honestly, we havent yet thought about it. Now that you have raised this point, we will surely discuss it.
- futhey 5y agoLooks nice! Seems like you've thought of all the basics. Easy to miss the drop target though (testing this at a bit past midnight) – seems like it would be easy to make that larger (or just make the whole window a drop target for the CSV)
- spreadr 5y agoThank you for the feedback. Making the entire window a drop target is a neat idea. I am noting it down for implementation.
- hndl 5y agoIt looks neat! Are you SOC2 compliant?
- spreadr 5y agoThank you! Not SOC2 complaint yet. We'll take on this once we hit a few milestones.
- taf2 5y agoAh very cool I built something like this for our application and used a web worker to offload validation etc… did you do something similar?
- spreadr 5y agoGreat! We are not using webworkers. Instead first we upload the files to our backend and then push them to the destination app.
