I invite our community to beta-test a new tool, warc2zip, that our engineer @Luca vibe-coded recently. Its goal is to enable researchers to work with WARC-formatted collections in a no-code or low-code environment. The zip file contains all of the crawl payloads as separate files, and all of the crawl metadata is stored as csv files, suitable for loading into a spreadsheet.

Our goal is to have this tool work with everyone's WARCs, so the end of README.md has a large list of public WARC examples.

Please have a look at https://github.com/commoncrawl/warc2zip and tell us how it works out! Expect bugs.
