Capacity.so

Capacity.so is impressive on so many levels ...but! I asked it do design a searchable, sortable music catalogue which would gather tag information from the web. I pressed "go" and immediately the code began to appear on screen. It is fascinating to watch. Once it had completed the coding I was left with a section of blank screen so I asked it why. It corrected the code and it fixed it, no problem. Then I realised that certain fields were just placeholders so I asked it to correct that, which it did. After that I thought I should have asked for an import .csv function so I requested that and it was duly added. All very impressive until I decided to use the .csv import function and it gave me over 7,000 identical data entries all marked as "Unknown Artist" and "Unknown Album" from a .csv file I know to be valid. By now, of course, I had run out of my alloted questions (I'm a free version user) and so was left on my own trying to figure out how to fix things. And that's when I discovered that my catalogue had no equivalent of Edit - Select - Select All - Delete All and that all 7,000+ entries would have to be deleted individually. So what does that tell me? Well, if you are a free version user it is vitally important to have a clear and thorough plan before you commit to pressing "go". If you don't and you have forgotten things, like me, then you will use up your additional questions very quickly. A cynical person might be led to think it's a good way to encourage subscriptions and maybe it is. In conclusion, it is a stunningly brilliant tool if you have a business or other need where you can justify the monthly subscription. If you only intend to use the free version you may end up in limbo, like me.
