stupid naive user (on linux xmonad firefox) question:

  "Drop a CSV or an Excel XML (.xlsx) file here to import it"

what sort of left-mouse/middle-mouse or ctrl-C/ctrl-V does "Drop" refer to in the above?

Drag and drop a file from a file manager to the browser. Thunar is a pretty lightweight file manager that supports drag and drop.

Thank you! (i feared as much)

Send them a pull request that adds an option to click to browse for a file, too.

Yup, making the "drop" a click-to-upload FileReader handler on line 214 would be great. The place to patch is here: https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc/blob/master/start.html#... — Looking forward to pull requests!
