SheetJS js-xlsx
📗 SheetJS Spreadsheet Data Toolkit -- New home https://git.sheetjs.com/SheetJS/sheetjs
Project mention: How to Convert Supplier CSVs to Shopify/Amazon/WooCommerce Without Uploading to a Server | dev.to | 2026-06-01The decision to process everything in the browser wasn't just about cost savings (zero server bills). It's a privacy feature: supplier inventory data, wholesale prices, and margin calculations never leave the user's machine. Technically, the app uses Papa Parse for CSV and SheetJS for XLSX, both loaded dynamically from CDN. The parsed rows are stored in a simple JavaScript array — no WebAssembly, no worker pool, just plain array operations that complete in under 50ms for typical supplier files.

Project mention: My WebSocket was open the whole time. It just stopped sending anything. | dev.to | 2026-08-31
The standard answer is a heartbeat: send a ping, expect a pong, kill the connection if the pong does not arrive. The ws heartbeat pattern is the canonical implementation and it is genuinely good. socket.io does the equivalent internally.
