i've built a lot of internal tools, but CSVs still reign supreme for many ops workflows.
yet, opening them feels like a massive chore:
- excel is overkill for quick edits
- google sheets takes 6+ clicks to import a CSV
- apple numbers isn't intuitive and can't save to my original CSV
honestly, i mostly use finder's built-in preview, but often i need to make small changes to the file.
so i finally shipped my latest pet project, Cells, a free, native macOS app:
- open a 1GB CSV in milliseconds (see the video!)
- saves back to your original CSV file (no exporting!)
- edit CSVs like a spreadsheet: drag to fill, ⌘D, smart paste, etc
check it out and lmk what you think: cells-app.com
i actually counted the steps for google sheets the other day. bare minimum it's 6 clicks and 2 page loads. unacceptable!
kind of crazy that you can just build things in a few hours to scratch your own itch, this is part of my growing portfolio of personal software:

so I built this small app called "ports" to keep track everything for me
- lightweight and lives in the mac menu
- lists all dev processes w/ port number
- buttons to open in browser, jump to terminal tab, or kill the process
sharing it in case it's helpful for you (100% free)
ports-app.com/?x=1
lmk if have feature requests or find a way to break it

projects in @cursor_ai are
▦ addicting
▦ insanely good
▦ dead simple to set up
shipping a new macOS app later today that scratches an itch i've had for a while

what are the biggest bugs, annoyances, or issues we should fix in @cursor_ai this week?
Enjoyed the analysis @FilmstudyRavens
Question: would it ever make sense to go for 2 if you get the first OT drive and score a TD?
