Work with CSV files using SQL. For data scientists and engineers

In plain words

Superintendent is a dev tool that lets data scientists and engineers query and manipulate CSV files using SQL syntax. Rather than learning specialized data manipulation libraries or converting files to databases, users can work directly with CSV data through familiar SQL commands. The tool is designed for technical professionals who need efficient ways to process and analyze tabular data without additional setup or infrastructure.

Load it back later, send it to your colleague. Never lose your work. Visualie your results in line charts, bar charts, stacked bar charts, and pie charts. Click on columns and press Ctrl+C to copy. Copy millions of cells or as much as your memory allows. Highlight a part of SQL and see its result when you aren't sure what the SQL entails. Click on multiple columns to sort ASC or DESC. Only one click away for your convenience. Just import CSV. The names and types are automatically handled for you. I don't work with data analysis anymore, but jfc the potential for this thing is awesome. Well done, mate! Handige tool!

  Hiya HN! TextQuery is my sabbatical project that I have been working on for the past six months. It was born out of a personal pain point. Anytime I wanted to analyze raw CSV data, I had to create a schema first before I could import it for querying. And to create charts, I had to use yet another tool. I also disliked how bad charts from popular tools like Excel, Google Sheets looked like. I wanted an easier way to do this and TextQuery was my solution: an all-in-one tool to query CSV files using SQL and create beautiful visualizations as well. Currently, it's a macOS app and focused on CSV…

  Hi 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…
