Just tried it out - thanks for sharing.

We're a sales tech startup and I've had to look through large CSVs with prospecting information in the past - anything over 10 MB crashes my browser. I use a Mac so I don't have Excel. This looks great for simple data manipulations. I tried out a large CSV I had, and it loaded without a problem.

Quick bug report: The filter interface seems to be slow for me though with the large file. Also, one feature that would be really helpful would be connecting this to a database and also some way to share my workflow/analysis.




Hey Marco, I'll take a look - filters theoretically should be fast, when you create a new filter, it simply reads does a `select * from table limit 1` to get column names

I wasn't sure whether you could query DBs directly from the browser but looks like you can! (https://github.com/alexanderguy/pgress) - will add it to roadmap!


Replying as I couldn't edit:

Alright, did a bit of digging and the flamegraph points to a problem with the Table component. I'd hoped that BlueprintJS tables would be performant enough for our usecase but apparently not!

We'll try to move to canvas based rendering ASAP - that should fix any lags in the filter UI
