#2Oh joy, more Slack pings from the data team (check my username).
Nice work!

#3Very cool! I'm interested to see how easy it is to create pivots on the fly. We use react-pivot[1] all over the place, but it needs js to set them up.

#4Looks fantastic! I love the combination of SQLite fixed schema with the hierarchical view.
Some advice on the website: Do some browser sniffing (I know) to display a screenshot of the software on the user's operating system. This immediately answers the question "Does the software work on my computer?" Also, the source code link should be near the Download section. Not everyone is trained that the triangle GitHub icon in the top right means "source code".

#5Interesting, I would describe it as an SQL client with an easy interface to load column based files. It's built on top of SQLite, which gives an indication of the kind of performance one can expect.

Great suggestions for the landing page, thank you!

SQLite is pretty fast actually. More problematic is that this uses Electron. Loading a tiny 200-line CSV file took 120MB for me lol

#8Wow, this seems simple but I got excited immediately when seeing this. Since I have been writing code to export data for clients, I have grown so tired of Kingsoft Spreadsheets and Google Sheets lagging like crazy with any sizable amounts of data. This will be a cool new tool to show my coworkers tomorrow and I'll be using it. Performance seems very snappy so far!

I invested some effort to keep it performant even with fairly large CSV files, including a custom port of some C++ code for fast CSV import. My current favorite example is the Met Museum's 228MB 450k row collection data set; takes about 12 sec. to open in Tad on my 2013 MacBook Pro. Definitely not lag free (and hard to achieve that without going to some serious column store data warehouse like Amazon Redshift), but still reasonable. https://twitter.com/antonycourtney/status/869252722624561152

Thanks for the heads up on Electron - I was going to look into onboarding this for our team until that. We have more than enough in the way of crufty crapplications already.
