Show HN: CSV GB+ by Data.olllo – Open and Process CSVs Locally
Most spreadsheet apps choke on big files. Coding in pandas or Polars works—but not everyone wants to write scripts just to filter or merge CSVs. CSV GB+ gives you a fast, point-and-click interface built on dual backends (memory-optimized or disk-backed) so you can process huge datasets offline.
Key Features: Handles massive CSVs with ease — merge, split, dedup, filter, batch export
Smart engine switch: disk-based "V Core" or RAM-based "P Core"
All processing is offline – no data upload or telemetry
Supports CSV, XLSX, JSON, DBF, Parquet and more
Designed for data pros, students, and privacy-conscious users

Would love feedback! I’m actively improving it based on real use cases.
What are you using for processing (polars)?
Marketing note: I'm sure you're proud of P Core/V Core, but that doesn't matter to your users, it's an implementation detail. At a maximum I'd write "intelligent execution that scales from small files to large files".
As an implementation note, I would make it simple to operate on just the first 1000 (10k or 100k) rows so responses are super quick, then once the users are happy about the transform, make it a single click to operate on the entire file with a time estimate.
Another feature I'd like in this vein is execute on a small subset, then if you find an error with a larger subset, try to reduce the larger subset to a small quick to reproduce version. Especially for deduping.
It‘s interesting to research how capable applications like Lotus123 have been even on low resolutions like 800x600 pixel compared to today’s standard
