Magic CSV – Transform CSVs with plain English, no formulas
I built a tool that lets you describe CSV transformations in plain English and get clean data back. Upload a CSV, type something like "split address into street, city, state, zip" or "standardize all dates to YYYY-MM-DD", and it does it. I built this because I kept seeing people struggle with the same repetitive spreadsheet tasks—date formatting, splitting columns, cleaning up phone numbers—and reaching for Python or formulas when they just wanted the data fixed. It's free to try: https://magiccsv.app Would love feedback on what transformations people actually need. What's the…

In plain words
Magic CSV is a tool that transforms CSV files using plain English descriptions instead of formulas or code. Users upload a CSV file and describe what they need—such as splitting addresses into components or standardizing date formats—and the tool handles the transformation automatically. It's designed for anyone performing routine data cleaning tasks like formatting dates, splitting columns, or standardizing phone numbers without needing to write Python scripts or complex spreadsheet formulas.

Talanoa▲345Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
