This is a Q&A I did on what I learned from a year of open source data transformation. Most of all, it reinforced my belief that browser-native tools aren’t “toys” that don’t work for real systems. When Hugging Face integrated my libraries, it confirmed that the browser can handle serious data work, and maybe there's an opportunity for more browser-based data tools.
