This would be particularly useful if you could somehow do it in such a way that the service doesn't need to actually be in possession of the CSV/Excel/etc data at any point. (That would be a non-starter for privacy reasons at many companies.)
Would I have paid, oh, $500 a month for this? Heck yes. I would have paid it for it on day #1 and continued paying for it for each of the last 4 years, and it would still be cheap at the price.
- eitally 12y agoWe built this for internal use within a specific app/process last year, and it was so useful we converted it into a generic uploader than devs could use any time they needed to upload CSV/Excel data.
- christiangenco 12y agoHuh. That'd be tricky, but not impossible. You'd have to do everything on the browser, which would limit the size of the spreadsheet you could import (it would have to fit in memory), and may limit browser support. It'd also be harder to productize since the secret sauce is now just javascript. I really want this to exist, though. Maybe it could be open sourced and survive on your proposed enterprise licenses. Hmm...
