Enter any messy data in and it will clean and structure it and you can also enter a URL and it will scrape the site for any tables and find the table and structure it in a ready to use format for all your needs. The formats supported are JSON, CSV, TSV, and MD. After entering a URL it can also accurately create citations and gives you an option to export the citations as well.

I made a QoL tool that helps immensely with table formatting and structured table downloading. It has 3 features:

  1. Paste a url and it scrapes the site to gather the table data and structure them in a proper CSV, TSV, JSON, or md format and makes it easy to use in any projects.
  2. If URL is not it then you can just copy and paste the entire table no matter how messy and it will format and structure them for the file types I mentioned.
  3. It has a citation feature. When you use the URL feature and add the URL there is a button at the bottom for cite this site instead when pressed it the citations for the table will be given so that you can use it for any research or credit purposes.

The most challenging part of this project was probably deployment. When I tested it locally it was working fine and instantaneously so I just did the basic deploy in vercel but I found out that when the sites are pinged from a remote server it blocks access most of the time categorizing it as a bot attack so fixing that was probably a hasstle.

Other than that it was quite fun to make this project. And also since I need structured tables quite a bit as well for my projects so this tool will help those like me.

I finally completed the site. The site is live now at https://tidy-three.vercel.app/ give it a try.

Also best bet is to probably copy and paste the table to be fair or clone the repo and run it locally since a lot of sites block the request from remote servers or highly restrict data given and results are not that good.

I mean give it a try and if its to your liking well there you go if not well just copy the entire table and paste it and down a structured csv or other format files

I finally completed the UI.
For the UI I used basic HTML, CSS along with JS so it was relatively fast. I kept the design of the webpage basic deliberately so its easy to navigate and understand the function of the page in an instant.

The entire thing is already completed I just need some time to debug some issues and format the code a bit better so I probably will devlog it quite soon.

I am working on a tool that cleans data and structures them in a clean table. It also supports url to data gathering or you can just copy and paste the data you want.
It gives you the option to download the data in different formats being CSV, TSV, JSON and md.
It also has a citation features for the URL so after entering the url if you want to download the citation in proper structured format as well it will help with that as well.
