Profile

I’ll be honest. I built a platform to host datasets thinking it would be the next big thing. I spent 8 months on it. Result: 0 users. It was a ghost town.Instead of deleting the repo and crying in a corner, I realized the only part of the app that was actually cool was the engine: It could turn any CSV upload into a queryable API in milliseconds.So I stripped away the social features, killed the "hub" idea, and turned it into a simple utility tool for frontend devs who hate writing backend boilerplate.It’s called Shodata. You drag a CSV, you get a REST API. That's it.It’s running on FastAPI + DuckDB. Roast my pivot.

I built a tool to version control datasets (like Git, but for data) is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
