Hm, could somebody explain the multi-threaded part to me? I'm a little confused. I didn't think multiple threads were possible in js. Furthermore, does this only work on Firefox?

Multithreading in js has been available for a while using Web Workers [1].

They are available in most major browser (including recent IE).

This looks great, particularly the way the website breaks down the main functionality with plain explanations and code samples. I know that there's a bit of a bugbear with some people when it comes to reimplementing CSV parsing but having it in-browser could be very handy.

I thought this as well, really good way to explain the benefits and features - through common questions.

Yeah, it explains it so well. Being able to relate to each point and feature is such a key part of explaining your service.

This site might be for a CSV parsing library and not a startup, but it does a better job of telling a story than most startups do. And, to me, that's how you sell and engage users.

Ok! Interesting. Are web workers gaining traction? This is the first time I've heard of them. Are there any major users/libraries that depend on ww?
