Is Show HN allowed to be used for advertising established businesses? Typically it's personal projects, sometimes the occasional early-stage one-person product

Hey HN! I’m Dominic, an engineer at Retool, and I&#x27;m excited to be sharing this on HN.<p>I often need to spin up a quick Postgres DB or REST API to test features I’m working on. Seeding these with data can get tedious, especially if I have to duplicate resources across environments. I put together a few quick tools to make this easier, like Import CSV to PostgreSQL (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;retool.com&#x2F;utilities&#x2F;write-csv-to-postgres" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;retool.com&#x2F;utilities&#x2F;write-csv-to-postgres</a>) and Convert CSV to JSON (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;retool.com&#x2F;utilities&#x2F;convert-csv-to-json" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;retool.com&#x2F;utilities&#x2F;convert-csv-to-json</a>).<p>All the utilities are freely available at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;retool.com&#x2F;utilities" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;retool.com&#x2F;utilities</a> - this one (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;retool.com&#x2F;utilities&#x2F;generate-app-from-csv" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;retool.com&#x2F;utilities&#x2F;generate-app-from-csv</a>) is one my favorites which lets you auto-generate a basic CRUD app from a CSV file.<p>Any feedback, requests for utilities or questions welcome! :)

&gt; CSV file format consists of one or more records, separated by commas. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas.<p>Pretty sure that first sentence is supposed to read &quot;CSV file format consists of one or more records, separated by newlines.&quot; Also if you&#x27;re targeting this at total CSV newbies, might want to mention that fields can contain commas themselves as long as they&#x27;re within double-quoted strings.
