At my previous startup, CSV import was make-or-break for customer onboarding. We built the first version in three days. Then reality hit: Windows-1252 encoding, European date formats, embedded newlines, phone numbers in five different formats. We rebuilt that importer multiples over the next six months. Our onboarding completion rate dropped 40% at the import step because users couldn't fix errors without starting over. The real problem isn't parsing (PapaParse is excellent). It's everything after: mapping "Customer Email" to your "email" field, validating business rules, and letting users…

Hi HN, I built a small utility to clean up messy CSV exports without opening Excel or writing pandas scripts. Upload a CSV → preview → choose columns to dedupe → normalize/trim → download the cleaned file. Free tier, no signup required for basic use. Stack: -Lovable for the app -Supabase (auth, Postgres, storage, edge functions) -Stripe for subscriptions/day passes Processing runs server-side; I kept the architecture intentionally simple and low-ops. Would love feedback on UX, edge cases, or features you’d want. Website: https://csv-cleaner.com/

SmoothCSV▲11Hi HN, I'm kohii, a software engineer from Japan. I've been building CSV editors for 15 years. This is my third rewrite from scratch, built with Tauri, Rust, and web technologies. *Why I built this:* Modern dev tools, that I use daily, are incredibly polished. CSV editors, not so much. I wanted a tool that handles CSVs as they are (messy column counts, various encodings, any delimiter or quoting style), preserves the original format, and gives you a polished spreadsheet UI with thoughtful UX. *What SmoothCSV does:* - *Fast*: Opens 100MB files in 1.6 seconds. (12x faster than Excel) -…
