What are you working on? Any new ideas which you're thinking about?

I'm building https://zenquery.app — a tool for querying large CSV, JSON, Parquet and Excel files using plain English. No SQL or coding required.

As a data engineer, I regularly have to dig through massive files to debug issues or validate assumptions — things like missing column values, abnormally large timestamps, inconsistent types, or duplicate records. It’s tedious and time-consuming, and that’s what led me to build this.

ZenQuery makes it quick and easy to explore data locally, without needing to spin up notebooks, write scripts, or upload anything to the cloud. It’s also useful for doing lightweight analytical QA if you're working with business data.

Happy to answer any questions.

Hey.. we are using this one in our company for past week. It's working great.

But, can you please add gdrive connection support to it? Our company mainly uses gdrive for all collaboration and would help to have a direct integration with it. As of now I first have to download the files (they are small files, but still).

Great product otherwise. Best wishes..

Glad to know it's working great.

Regarding gdrive integration, it's already in my todo. Have received the same request from one other person.

Will bump up this feature's priority.

Thanks..
