this is awesome. One feature I'd like is the frozen column of airtable:

There's no shadowroot usage or customElement definitions here - what part of this is a web component? Not to trivialize the creation of what looks like a decent spreadsheet library, but this just looks like a standard library, not a web component.

Airtable has a lot of delights like this. Uncluttered nearly zero visual weight features. Thx for sharing that link.

Before there were Web Components, people made reusable web components.

But, probably good to disambiguate
