About

I come from sales and marketing, not engineering. After watching SaaS teams rebuild CSV importers over and over, I saw an opportunity no one was packaging properly. I built ImportKit ā€” an embeddable React import widget that replaces weeks of custom CSV/Excel infrastructure with one component. Along the way, I became obsessed with something deeper: how AI systems shape product discovery and positioning before buyers ever click. Now exploring the intersection of developer infrastructure and AI-mediated product visibility. Building in public from Iceland šŸ‡®šŸ‡ø

ImportKit ā€“ Embeddable CSV import widget for SaaS apps

Hey everyone

I'm Gissur. ImportKit is my first SaaS product and I'd really love some honest feedback.

It's an embeddable CSV import widget that developers can drop into their apps.
The idea came from experience I've seen how much time gets burned building a decent spreadsheet import flow from scratch. Column mapping, validation, weird encodings, error handling it's one of those things that sounds simple until you actually build it.

So ImportKit handles that part for you. Embed the widget, let your users map columns and import their data, and get back to building the stuff that actually makes your product unique.
