Description
Tabulens opens tables that Excel can't or that online viewers want you to upload: DBF (dBase, FoxPro, Clipper), Excel, CSV, Parquet, SQLite, Access, SPSS, Stata, SAS and tables inside ZIP archives. Everything is parsed locally in the browser tab or in a portable Windows app: nothing leaves your computer, and the page's security policy makes that verifiable. Filter, pivot, compare files, validate and export. Free; Pro is a one-time $29.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a browser UI is straightforward, but parsing obscure legacy binary file formats (DBF, SPSS .sav, SAS .sas7bdat, Stata .dta, MS Access .mdb) purely client-side requires porting complex binary parsing libraries to WebAssembly.
What it would actually take: The solution requires a frontend (React or Svelte) compiled with various C/C++/Rust parser libraries targeted to WebAssembly (e.g., DuckDB-Wasm for Parquet/SQLite, readstat compiled via Emscripten for SPSS/SAS/Stata, and mdbtools for Access). The challenge is compiling and patching legacy C data parsers to run performantly in sandboxed browser memory without memory leaks or crashes on multi-gigabyte files.
