Show HN: Extract Table from Image
I'm answering questions about Pandas (the Python data analysis framework) on StackOverflow from time to time. It's an exercise in patience, because many people will post screenshots of their data instead of a reproducible code example. You'll have to point about every other newcomer to the documentation on how write a proper question that one can actually answer.<p>I'd imagine other areas around StackOverflow (SQL, R?) are fighting similar issues. I've just tried it with a question (sure enough the second newest Pandas tagged question had a table as an image), and your tool produced a nice .csv.<p>It would be a godsend to have a button on StackOverflow that would replace a user-uploaded image of a table with some Pandas code that constructs the same DataFrame. Currently I would have to download the image, upload it to extract-table.com, download the .csv, load it into Python, run some code to create the code-based DataFrame.<p>I'd consider sending people on StackOverflow to your tool if you cut down some of the steps: (1) allowing to paste in an URL of an image, and (2) producing Pandas code output that can be directly copy/pasted from the site (not having to download a csv).<p>For illustration: here's what the Pandas code would look like for the first example of extract-table.com:<p><pre><code>  df = pd.DataFrame( {'Name': {0: 'David', 1: 'Jessica', 2: 'Warren'}, 'Gender': {0: 'Male', 1: 'Female', 2: 'Male'}, 'Age': {0: 23, 1: 47, 2: 12}} )</code></pre>
