A cross-platform editor for .csv files

This feels like Markdown for spreadsheets: SmoothCSV is a cross-platform app made by kohii, which allows to comfortably edit .csv files.

.csv files are text files that can be created, read, and shared with any tool capable of handling text. SmoothCSV can pick up and create .csv files with a comprehensive editing experience – on Mac and Windows. SmoothCSV is fast, probably because it´s written in Rust. kohii explains how he created the tool in his dev.to article The Technology Behind SmoothCSV - The Ultimate CSV Editor.

Buy stability. Build possibility.

This sounds true! When deciding to buy or to build a software solution, build what makes you special, what differentiates you.

Getting your build vs buy balance right is how you achieve table stakes: stable infrastructure, reliable publishing, sustainable engineering. But that sets you up for today. In order for any business to future-proof itself, it needs to make a bet on what the future will look like and build for that.
