Cool project, I had a same issue like author mentioned with sharing csv files in Google sheets so recently I made a utility to convert csv files to HTML table - <a href="https://github.com/vividvilla/csvtotable" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/vividvilla/csvtotable</a> it works offline also and generates single HTML file which can be shared or hosted anywhere. Here is a demo of HTML file generated - <a href="https://cdn.rawgit.com/vividvilla/csvtotable/2.1.0/sample/goog.html" rel="nofollow">https://cdn.rawgit.com/vividvilla/csvtotable/2.1.0/sample/go...</a>
I just tried out the service. Some feedback:<p>1. It would be nice if I could upload CSVs that are gzip compressed.<p>2. When I download the CSVs it would be good if the filenames included gz at the end as of now they're written out as a series of random characters followed by a .csv extension.<p>3. Time columns have been transformed after I downloaded the file I just uploaded. The date is in US format and the time information is lost. 2010-12-01 13:51:00 became 12/1/10.<p>4. When trying to view a 50K row CSV on your site Chrome slows to a crawl.<p>5. I originally tried to upload a 1-million-row x 9 column, 33 MB, gzip compressed CSV. It would be good if the service limits could allow for something like this.<p>This service should do one better than just sending a CSV via email and having the other party opening it up in Excel.
The idea is great. The internet needs a simple and useful tool like that.<p>However, it fails when I try to browse a .txt file (which is CSV, believe me) based just on its extension. Also, it is way too slow. I've opened the longest rivers example the site has offered me and couldn't even search, scrolling was difficult.
Very nice Jason.<p>I know I'm always bugging you about Fieldbook APIs (this is Nate K again), but is there an api for creation here?<p>I have a super-duper-cool use case in mind but it involves POSTing an in-memory CSV rather than manually clicking (but I don't want to clutter my fieldbook namespace).
Very nice. I made a system to search CSV files at <a href="http://gosharedata.com" rel="nofollow">http://gosharedata.com</a> but I it is only available as a download and not online, so I like CSVShare, very cool!
