With flatfile you have to define the data model and the validation criteria in the client side code. Whereas csvbox.io is no-code - you can define the data model and attach validations right inside the app admin with a few clicks.

Thank you for the feedback. It makes a lot of sense. This is a common advice received from a few folks here. We are sure to work on it.

Great!

We are not using webworkers. Instead first we upload the files to our backend and then push them to the destination app.

We have a preset of utf-8 and will probably have to find a way for managing encoding.

Thanks for your feedback and actually trying out the app in the first place.

I will get the bugs fixed.

I have also noted down the suggestions on column name and Keypress. We will implement them soon.

Pricing restructure is also on the cards.

Once again, thank you!!!

All of this makes a lot of sense.

We will surely have a relook at the pricing model.

Thank you!

To be honest, we haven't thought about the possibility to work everything client side. Its an idea worth exploring.

Our aim is to integrate the importer with multiple destinations such as databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, S3 etc), APIs (custom, Zapier, GSheets, Airtable) and others (FTP, Email etc). Coding server side would be easier and faster.

Moreover we plan to introduce on-premise deployment options in the future.

Thank you! I just got a very similar suggestion.

What according to you should be the minimum pricing tier?

Thank you for the awesome suggestions!

You can configure the validation criteria for each column via the app admin. Simply mark the column as 'not required' to accept empty values.

I have noted down all your feedback for fast implementation.

Cant thank you enough!

Thank you for the feedback.

This is our introductory pricing that will evolve over time. Here is our dilemma - on one hand we want to target indie developers, side projects, bootstrapped startups (that are cost conscious) and on the other hand we want to maximize the earning potential and also not look like a low value product.

Thank you for the feedback.

Making the entire window a drop target is a neat idea. I am noting it down for implementation.

Thank you! Not SOC2 complaint yet.

We'll take on this once we hit a few milestones.
