Hi 👋, this is my first submission to Product Hunt, and I am eager to hear your thoughts and feedback. 💡 The premise is simple: CSV files are used everywhere for data exchange, programs are written every day to parse them, and this is not the most creative task to tackle. Coder allows to generate C# code bindings for CSV files, understands complex data types such as lists inside a field, and can provide with integration examples and unit test for your specific files (paid functionality). Currently detected value types: ✅ All primitive types ✅ Date/DateTime/Time ✅ List ✅ Enum I plan to add more specific types in the future (IP address, domain name, email etc.) if there will be enough interest. First, I have to address an elephant in the room here, and that is ChatGPT/GPT-4 is capable of doing those things at ease. I have tried both ChatGPT and GPT-4, and from what I have seen, it can only understand some simple types, but all non-numbers usually become string types. Having said that, I am continuing to evaluate it to see if it makes sense to use on some data.

As someone who spends a lot of time with CSVHelper, this can save me time, and I would not mind paying for it. The only question is on single file pricing of $9; what happens if I upload a CSV file, I find out I missed some fields, and upload again? Is that another $9?

@jay_janarthanan1 yeah that's a valid point, with single pricing you cannot re-upload CSV because technically you can upload a completely new CSV there. I'm not sure how to address this yet, would you have any suggestions?
