olllo··on Ask HN: What Would Make Stack Overflow Great Again?
The main problem is that less and less human visit stackoverflow, but not others. So I think it should face to agent but not human in this case.

It should adjust traget users from human to agent. That's to say, to build for agents sharing knowledge.

The "million row limit" in Excel is a relic. Even when using tools like VS Code or Notepad++ for large files, the memory pressure often makes the UI unusable.

DataOlllo is a lightweight viewer designed to stream data directly from disk. It handles massive CSVs and modern formats like Parquet and Arrow natively. It’s been helpful for my workflow when I just need to filter and export a subset of a massive dataset without spinning up a Jupyter notebook.

Every week, Shopify sellers download sales CSVs and Facebook ad reports, then spend hours merging them in Excel just to figure out if they actually made money. I got tired of that.

So I built Data.olllo — a local desktop app that lets you open both CSVs, ask an AI assistant things like “calculate profit by campaign per month”, see the code it generates, preview the result, then click “Apply All” to run it safely on your full data. You can even visualize the outcome (income, outcome, profit) as interactive bar charts and save the whole workflow to rerun next week — all locally, no cloud uploads.

It turned what used to be a 2-hour spreadsheet task into a 10-second repeatable workflow.

I’d love feedback from the HN community — on the product, workflow design, or how to make the AI assistant smarter for real-world data tasks.

Hi HN,

I want to share a cool feature in Data.olllo, a local, offline, no-code data analysis tool with AI chat capabilities.

Handling time and date data can be a pain—timestamps, strings, extracting year/month, or converting formats usually require coding knowledge. With Data.olllo’s AI chat, you just describe what you want in plain English, and the AI instantly generates the correct pandas code inside a process(dfs) function you can run on your dataset.

For example, you can: - Convert Unix timestamps to readable date-times - Extract parts like year and month from date columns - Parse messy string dates into proper datetime objects - Convert datetime back to numeric timestamps - Format datetime columns into any string style you want

Here’s a sample snippet the AI generates for converting a Unix timestamp column:

def process(dfs): df = dfs["df"] df["timestamp"] = pd.to_datetime(df["timestamp"], unit="s") return df

You don’t need to know pandas or write any code yourself — just type your request, and the AI does the heavy lifting, letting you explore and visualize your data faster.

Data.olllo runs 100% locally, so your data stays private, and it can handle millions of rows quickly.

If you often struggle with time data or want a fast way to analyze large CSVs without coding, give Data.olllo a try:

We all have those moments: a massive dataset, full of potential, but locked behind rows, columns, and hours of manual digging. I built something to change that — not just for myself, but for anyone who’s ever stared at a CSV and thought, “There has to be a better way.”

Data.olllo is a desktop app that lets you talk to your data.

Ask in plain English:

“Which products grew the fastest this year?” “What’s unusual about Q2 performance?” “Show me regional trends for refunds.”

The AI assistant understands your dataset and responds with insights — tables, summaries, even charts. No Python scripts. No cloud latency. No need to upload anything. Your data stays with you. It just becomes smarter.

Behind the scenes, it uses your choice of AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, or even a local LLM), but the goal isn’t just automation — it’s flow. You and your data, in sync.

This isn’t a data tool. It’s a new way of thinking with your information.

I built a tool called Data.olllo that helps split huge CSV files—like multi-GB datasets—into smaller parts by size, row count, or column value. It’s 100% offline, runs on your desktop, and doesn’t require any coding.

We just published a detailed article explaining how it works: https://olllo.top/articles/article-24-Split-Huge-CSVs-in-Sec...

Would love feedback from folks who deal with messy or oversized data. What features would you want in a CSV splitter?

I’ve just relaunched https://olllo.top with a brand-new design, logo, and overall presentation. Data.olllo is a no-code data analysis tool that runs on your desktop, aimed at helping users analyze large files quickly, privately, and without needing to write code.

What’s new: • Fresh branding and visual identity (logo, colors, layout) • Simplified homepage with clearer descriptions of what Data.olllo does • Improved demo experience and easier navigation • A focus on real-time, local data handling – no uploads required

You can try it directly on Windows (7 days trail after sign up), and I’d love to hear your feedback—whether about the design, the messaging, or the tool itself.

This is something I’ve been building personally, and I’m here to answer questions and gather thoughts.

Thanks for checking it out!

Working with large datasets—50GB, 100GB, or more—is a serious challenge in most tools.

Excel can’t open files this size. Python scripts take time to load and debug. Even many "pro" data platforms get sluggish or crash outright.

That’s why Data.olllo was designed to open massive CSV and HDF5 files without breaking a sweat—up to 100GB and beyond.

I’m curious how others here approach data tasks: Do you prefer writing SQL directly, using Python/pandas, or working with no-code/low-code tools (like Tableau, Airtable, or internal tools)?

For context, I’m building Data.olllo, a desktop app for processing CSVs locally — no upload, just fast filtering, transforming, and exploring data with a spreadsheet-like UI.

What do you personally reach for first when cleaning or analyzing a dataset?

olllo··on Show HN: CSV GB+ by Data.olllo – Open and Process CSVs Locally
Thanks for the feedback! Data.olllo isn't Electron-based—it's built in Python with tkinter and custom tkinter, so the size mainly comes from the data libraries and embedded Python environment. I agree that keeping things lean is important, and I’m actively working on optimizing the package size further.

Appreciate the DuckDB comparison—great tool and definitely a benchmark worth learning from!

olllo··on Show HN: CSV GB+ by Data.olllo – Open and Process CSVs Locally
Absolutely—CSVs are still everywhere, especially for simple interchange between teams and tools. I designed Data.olllo with that in mind.

That said, I also plan to add support for Parquet and other formats soon—definitely agree it's gaining traction for larger, structured datasets.

olllo··on Show HN: CSV GB+ by Data.olllo – Open and Process CSVs Locally
Tad is a great tool—very clean and useful for quick exploration.

Data.olllo is focused more on local data processing, not just viewing—things like filtering, transforming, merging, and even running Python code (with AI assistance coming). It’s built for both small and large files with performance in mind, using many cores including Polars under the hood.

Also, good news: the macOS version is in the works and will be submitted to the Mac App Store soon!

olllo··on Show HN: CSV GB+ by Data.olllo – Open and Process CSVs Locally
Thanks for the thoughtful take—really appreciate both perspectives.

You're right that terms like "intelligent execution" can feel vague without concrete backing. My goal with mentioning P Core/V Core was to hint at the underlying design—switching between in-memory and disk-based engines like Polars and Vaex—without overwhelming with technical detail.

I’ll look for a better way to explain the idea clearly and briefly. Thanks again!

olllo··on Show HN: CSV GB+ by Data.olllo – Open and Process CSVs Locally
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback!

Yes, Data.olllo uses including Polars under the hood for fast and efficient processing. A demo video is in the works and should be up soon.

Good point about the "P Core/V Core" naming—I'll simplify that to focus more on the user benefit, like scaling from small to large files smoothly.

I also like your idea of running transformations on a sample first with a one-click full run—very aligned with the vision. And subset reproduction for errors is a great suggestion, especially for things like deduping. Appreciate it!

olllo··on Show HN: CSV GB+ by Data.olllo – Open and Process CSVs Locally
Thank you! I completely agree—TSVs/CSVs are such a simple yet powerful format, and it's great to hear you're making good use of them. I'm also a big fan of doing as much as possible locally—our machines are incredibly capable these days. Good news: I'm currently working on the macOS version of Data.olllo and plan to submit it to the Mac App Store soon. Stay tuned!
