Just wanted to say I haven't used your product yet, but there are a couple things I really like about your site that led me to download it:

1. The first question I had was "How is this better than Excel?" The Google result for your site directly pulls up this very informative blog post, https://www.moderncsv.com/why-excel-sucks-and-modern-csv-is-... . Note my 2 cents is that I would more prominently link this, or at least have a more prominent section, from your home page.

2. Simple AF pricing. So rare these days. Kudos!

Yeah, Excel's data munging is a massive problem for a lot of CSV stuff.

Thanks for linking that post. I would summarize this tool more as a log viewer and editor, not necessarily a CSV editor. I mean, this: "What if you’re running a script that writes to a CSV file and you want to see it updated?" I have never experienced in my life, and I had my fair share of CSV munging...

I would use that feature. We do data processing, and for testing I developed a version that runs locally on CSV files. It can take a few minutes to work through a large file, but it's stream processing so it starts writing almost immediately. Being able to load that output sooner than once it's done like Excel provides would be a nice improvement.
