I think $40 a year just for the split feature is a little too much. However, adding more useful features for manipulating CSV files would probably change my mind about it. For example, doing some reorder or preprocess of the files as if people split into X files they'll have to do that action X times if they do it in Excel directly.

Check out the Didgets tool at https://www.Didgets.com which will let you import data from CSV, Json, Json Lines; filter out any unwanted rows; and then export it out into CSV, Json, Json Lines, HTML, or XML files while splitting them up like this does.

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?

so this will be shared again with no updates in a few months? https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=superintendent.app

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...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The target users don't have that amount of data believe me I worked as an accountant

I work as a dev _for_ the accountants. We have that amount of data.

You don't understand. They said "believe me". It must mean 100% of the accountants will never ever encounter 1M rows.
