I maintain https://grid.glideapps.com if you're looking for something ludicrously fast.
I have noticed your product before, very well done!

#64-"You've built a web app, but your users stick to Excel" I feel that if your users are not using your web app, it's not because they miss the (dated, not exactly intuitive) Excel interface. Seems to me like the wrong solution for the problem

#65I'm impressed by the lack of dependencies and single-file download. One of my use-cases is for offline use, and not via a web app installation -- only assets in an ordinary filesystem directory. Mega-components in single js files are a good step towards that.
> not via a web app installation -- only assets in an ordinary filesystem directory Not sure I understand this. Every web app I build is just a set of HTML/CSS/JS files that are served in a static fashion, which means that you could just plop that static folder onto your hard drive, click "index.html", and interact with it normally. I guess routing concerns maybe exist if you just naively hope the URL-based-routing w…

#66Been using AgGrid but looking for a replacement. I tried to load a CSV of 100k items here and got a "RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded." https://www.datagridxl.com/demos/import-csv-data
I haven't tried using DataGridXL with a file with that many records. There is a chance that the DOM node that is used for scroll-listening grows too large and browsers cannot handle that. I suspect that is where the error comes from. However, I will add this to our list of issues, see where the error really comes from and where I can improve it ( https://github.com/DataGridXL/DataGridXL2/issues/31 ). For now, I would…
Feel free to steal and improve, we only enable the clown-car mode when the desired scrollable area is larger than what a browser can support. With our implementation scrolling is still handled by the browser, but the scroll location can be subtly recomputed as you go from time to time. We only do this when interacting with the scrollbar directly to avoid weird artifacts like scrolling feeling faster than normal.

There is a million record demo? That is where my confusion comes from.

#68For those looking for a FOSS alternative, I haven't seen mentioned here yet Toast UI Grid - TUI-grid: https://ui.toast.com/tui-grid
I've been using it for over a year and it works perfectly.

#70Wonderful work! If you think your table is the best, as someone who is pondering buying it, you'd save me some time if you had a quick comparison matrix with your main competitors. It seems counterintuitive to provide that but most people will do the research anyway so you're just saving them some time searching and cataloguing alternatives.
eh, most people will prefer the first product they see - so by the time they get to competitor X, they just dont have the energy to do a full sweep of details. Especially if the first one had everything they were looking for and after a couple other searches their pricing doesnt seem unreasonable either
