CSV Is Never Just CSV: Uncovering the Human Stories Behind the Data

I started building CSV Unwrap to help users understand unfamiliar datasets quickly, but I discovered that parsing files was the easy part. The real challenge lies in interpreting the messy, inconsistent data shaped by years of human decisions. While tools like DuckDB handle the heavy lifting, the true difficulty is creating a mental model that explains context, not just statistics. This journey revealed that understanding the relationships between columns and the stories behind empty cells is far more complex than simply reading rows.
