I'd say if you know React or Vue or another framework and it fits your project well, then no. If you are learning though, there is arguably much less to learn (in particular, not h…

It enables much of what a large framework like React enables, but with a much simpler implementation, less tooling need to use it, and (some may argue) more convenient usage.

GrainJS is a JavaScript / TypeScript library for building dynamic web applications. - It's in part inspired by React, but based on observables (like Knockout) instead of virtual do…

That should make it the format of choice for Chief Security Officers.

It makes sense for a successful product that’s being hurt by competitors packaging it up and selling as a paid service. My advice: for a younger product, keep it actually open-sour…

[Grist founder here] On separating formulas from data, that's always been an important part of Grist. In Grist, check out the "Code View" page in the left-side panel -- it shows al…

Big differentiators in Grist, in terms of features, are layouts, access rules, and formulas.

Incidentally, Grist runs on the desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux), see https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-electron .

Shhh, don't tell them about SQLite! It's the secret sauce behind Grist (I am a founder), and we are sort of competitors. Wouldn't want Monday.com knowing about our competitive adva…

Founder of Grist here ( https://www.getgrist.com/ ): - focus on small teams and individuals - open source (with community contributing!) - can be run self-managed - portable data (…

Grist doesn't have a mobile app, but has pretty decent UI on mobile browsers.

(Grist cofounder here.) "Co-code" first became popular with developers in the form of Github Copilot (and now others), adding productivity. But for spreadsheet users it makes an ev…

It's a spreadsheet, Excel was always our primary competition! :) The more Excel follows us, the better for everyone. Python is a start, but they have a way to go. Imagine proper re…

Grist is a spreadsheet with Python support (I am a founder). Python does make some formulas far easier. Nice to see Excel has data science libraries included from the start, that's…

There is overlap! I've spent the last 8 years working on Grist, which tries very hard to improve on Excel while keep its best aspects, and is open source.

Grist is it, in fact "GSheets + Airtable" is how people often see it. From https://blog.appsumo.com/airtable-alternatives/#3_Grist : "Grist has been described as if Google Sheets +…

It's not quite type safety, it's all about order, and it's definitely not specific to Javascript. Here's Python3: >>> sorted([10, 2, math.nan]) [2, 10, nan] >>> sorted([10, math.na…

Ooh, excited to see mention of Grist (I am a cofounder). Python code and structured data are a great combination, and are particularly good for AI. We did an experiment where AI wa…

That's what I wonder about too. I imagine that a slow calculation would be fine if done once when the data is first loaded into the system. Once the results are in memory, any new …
