This is pretty nice. I'll try it out next time I have to look at javadoc. It might be great to improve SEO, so when I search for a Java class in Google, the results show docland. I'm curious. What is "External link resolution

You can use my SQL spreadsheet app: https://superintendent.app I had a similar problem at work where I needed to do some formula on a 5 GB CSV file. Excel can't handle more than 1M rows. Database through command line is too

I've built a programmable tooltip on Mac for using at work. You write your own provider script. You can select a text on any app and activate a tooltip to do things like jumping to a URL using that string, converting epoch millis to da

I'm actually having this issue where users import CSV files that don't seem to be valid. DuckDB would throw out an error like: Invalid Closing Quote: found non trimable byte after quote at line 34, Invalid Input Error: Invalid uni

Really appreciate your kind words! I'm glad we crossed path, though, based on your username, I can't tell who you are. haha. To be honest, I'm still trying to find more a product market fit. It feels like a travel planning ap

I hope it didn't take too much of your time to ramble all of this. 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 c

I wasn't trying to hide its price. 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.

In my day job, a customer would ask me to reconcile between 2 giant CSVs very often. Think GBs. 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 sql

I doubt sqlite will catch up soon in terms of analytics due to a few below reasons. The SQL dialect is so much lacking that it seems intentional. They are meant to be a transactional database, not an analytics one. Sqlite also takes pride o

That is a good way of development. In a lot of the times, there is no V2 due to 1 of the 2 states: 1. V1 is too successful. You cannot slow down the growth. It is bad, but not as bad as people make it out to be. Many startups are trying ver

Sometimes I feel I'm the only person who thinks tech debt is not that difficult to solve. Everything needed to be solved is under your control. It may take time and be boring, but you have everything you need to solve it. Product-marke

I tried many times in the past to manipulate CSVs through command line. The common one is using sqlite. The friction was just so bad that made me hate my job.

This is a really really helpful post. I appreciate a bunch of real-world examples with exact responses and rationale behind them. Many of the communication improvement books, while helpful, don't quite give out a playbook like this. I&

There is something like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26683832 But I would prefer using something Sqlite officially maintains and not to maintain anything myself. I also don't prefer using libraries from r

Full outer join is my fave update. I kinda wish sqlite has more functions though.

This looks awesome. I want to integrate this with my SQL tool (using JS). I've noticed the limited standard library. I wonder if prql supports "passthrough" function where it just uses function as-is e.g. if I invoke "ra

Well, shameless plug. https://superintendent.app (paid with free trial) enables you to load a bunch of CSVs and write SQL on those CSV files. It's a much faster to work with if you know SQL well. It can also handle millions

If you know SQL and work with large CSVs (that exceed excel limit), I recommend https://superintendent.app (disclaimer: I'm the creator). But it is still not free though.

It won't, but I feel pretty damn good about my repo getting almost 900 stars ( https://github.com/tanin47/tip ). The github stars is quite useful to break into big tech as well. But the value of it probably stops th

What do you mean by no update? This is a new app completely. I submitted Superintendent.app 2 times and stopped because the second time hit the front page. The other 2 times were posted by someone else, which I have no control over...

I'm thinking about adding the filter/sort feature soon-ish. Just curious: what kind of features (apart from filter/sort) might change your mind about paying for this app?
