18 month project is winding down. I suspect it will have 1 use in the next 4 years we are supporting it.

The tool is basically a copy of the S3 browser, only shittier. The license for the S3 browser is only 20 bucks btw.

hey I'm right there with you. I didn't want to type out all the details but the customer didn't want to use any tools they had to "learn". All they wanted to do was be able to do is view a file structured similarly to CVS. View, filter, and sort alphabetically. This was like a subtask of a bigger project.

Bottom line is we were like "hey don't waste your money on this request, there are tons of tools that can do this"

Their response was essentially "we contracted you, you guys figure it out." LOL okay, pay us for 1 additional month and you can have a program to load your csv and sort it
