Alright that is magically good. 400mb CSV of energystar HVAC data loaded and displayed in 3.7s.

あのBen Fryが、シンプルかつ強力な表データ可視化ツールをリリース!rowboat.xyz/
試しにMEDISの医薬品HOTコードマスタのcsvファイルを読ませてみたら、一発でこんな感じで表示してくれる、すごい!

Ever wanted to do exploratory data analysis on a dataset of UFO sightings? Try this awesome new EDA tool rowboat.xyz from @fathominfo
After fifteen years of working on products for our clients, we’re releasing one of our very own!
Rowboat is our tool for quickly making sense of tabular data (think Excel and CSV files). It runs entirely in the browser, just rowboat.xyz and drop a file on the page.
There’s lots more to share, but I hope you’ll try it out, and let us know what you think. We have a small crew, so until we have time to set up more of an online community, drop us a line at hello (at) rowboat.xyz.

I have made the extremely difficult decision to resign from the Processing Foundation. I am absolutely heartbroken, and have not slept well for months.
The situation is especially difficult for me because it has been created by the people who most benefited from all that work I did, and from people I trusted as friends.
