If you can productize this, then you can potentially build a business around this. The most feature filled spreadsheet component today is Handsontable. My company pays for the enterprise version of it...And we wish there was something better.
Link for others: https://handsontable.com/examples.html It's too expensive IMO. But if you are not using it commercially, it's on Github.
I have spent way too much time building grid components at my company, and I've found that if you have (1) a lot of data, (2) a dense grid, and (3) a grid that occupies most of the screen, THEN the only way to get 30+fps is to use canvas and do all the layout and drawing logic yourself.
Lately I have been looking into javascript grid components and have not found a good solution.
What would be a good javascript grid component that satisfies the following: 1. Integrates easily with Vue 2. Has sorting 3. Has grouping 4. Has inline editing (formulas are not required)?
OTOH I would be happy with a software that is basically a web frontend for Postgres that can be customised in a way that a client can only see and edit specific fields based on assigned rights.

The thing is, it carries too much baggage. It took them many months to even put it on npm. Adding features takes a lot of effort.
Its 149$ for a year - its not at all bad and I love supporting them.
But there's space to innovate - look at Airtable. I would love to have a component that looks like Airtable frontend.

IMO grids (and trees, etc.) only work well if they are framework-specific.
Here's a table that could evolve into an editable grid:

What's wrong with Handsontable? It looks pretty good to me.
Can someone suggest something simple for React and/or vanilla Javascript? (would be interested in both)
This looks really great, and I've got an immediate use for something like this. I've been using ag-grid for presentation of grid-based data, but this looks ideal for more-interactive views. I look forward to putting it through its paces. Somewhat off-topic, but for those working in React, have you built large systems using Redux? I'm fairly early in what is likely to ultimately be a large-ish application, and while I…
I have made several relatively large systems using Redux, and it has become a necessity in order to handle complexity of new features. Overcoming the initial cognitive load takes a week or two, but as your system grows, your productivity and code organization is greatly improved. I also recommend Immutable for handling the state object and reselect for computing your container state properties. Those technologies tog…
