1: It does expand a level of hierarchy if you already know what you're looking for (from manually getting the data). Is there a way to omit columns that have more levels or keep them as list columns?

2: Probably too niche to be worth it for you :)

3: Parsing pdfs automagically isn't easy, but handling downloads and images and storing them in a bucket would go quite far (I guess there's a way to do that, but I didn't immediately see a "simple" example).

It sounds like it's potentially a great tool, the only open question is really, is it worth studying the docs and implementing a process in crul as opposed to whatever language I'm familiar with already?
