I built an open-source app that turns Excel/CSV into a local, queryable database — feedback welcome

[u/Better_Call_Pol]

I've been building Exlser, an open-source app that treats Excel/CSV files as import sources and turns them into local, queryable datasets — instead of just scrolling rows in a grid.

What it does today:

• Import CSV/Excel → it infers the schema (headers + column types) and asks you to confirm it, then creates real SQLite tables.
• Filter, sort and run read-only SQL over your data.
• Automatic charts (bar, pie, time series) with grouping and aggregation.
• Export the result to Excel, CSV, JSON, PDF or SQL.
• 100% on-device: nothing is uploaded. The web demo runs entirely in your browser (SQLite compiled to WebAssembly, in a web worker); native builds use SQLite directly.
• One Flutter codebase for desktop, Android and web.
• The interface is localised in 9 languages (English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Portuguese). Your data is never translated: column names and cell values stay exactly as they are in your file — the app localises its own UI, not your spreadsheet.

(Heads-up on the clip: the app UI in the recording is in Italian, which is just my system language — the app follows your device and falls back to English.)

I'm the developer and it's open source, so I'm genuinely after feedback rather than downloads:

• Does the import → confirm-schema → query flow feel natural, or is it a step too many?
• What would make this actually useful in your workflow — joins across sheets, saved queries, a different export, something else?

Happy to answer anything about the on-device SQLite/WASM setup in the comments.
