Story

Why I built PlotForge

PlotForge was created by an engineer who spent years analysing test and measurement data in spreadsheets and heavy analysis tools. The same patterns appeared again and again:

Time lost manually building plots from CSV or Excel files.
Inconsistent analysis between projects and team members.
Complex tools being overkill for day-to-day investigations.

PlotForge is an attempt to fix that: a focused, engineer-friendly tool that keeps the workflows you already know (CSV, Excel, regions, plots) but makes them faster, more repeatable, and easier to share with your team.
