I'm not having the same experience (using uBlock Origin)

#13Looks great. I couldn't see any way to sort by column - is that possible?

#14Shameless plug! https://ellx.io/ is a programmable spreadsheet with extended JavaScript for formulas (plus operator overloading and automatic async resolution)

#15How does that compare to https://github.com/paulhodel/jexcel ?
jexcel is great, it has more features (sorting, formulas, colors, etc)... but those same features are not very performant with many (>1000) rows since each cell is a html table cell. datagridxl looks promising if you need to display lots of data. I'm a fan of any open source data grid library so I'm happy both exists.
are both open source? click the buy button on datgridxl.js, only 800 euros!!

In the docs they precisely tell that this is not supported https://www.datagridxl.com/docs/features-limits

#17Hello HN, I’m Robbert, the creator of DataGridXL.js. DataGridXL is a free (and commercial) editable data table library written in ES6. My goal is to develop the most performant & user-friendly spreadsheet-like data table out there: - It has zero dependencies. You don’t need any framework to use DataGridXL. - It is lightweight (~200kb) and easy to use. It does not even require messing with CSS. - It has its own Virtua…
I have been looking for years for something to replace a custom rendered excel-like table I have.
The table has a complex layout:
- One fixed top row (date), two or three fixed columns on the left.
- Data are rendered horizontally; the number of rows does not change, but the number of columns can be in the hundreds.
Does your library support column-oriented data like this (you mention "60+" columns)? Does anyone know of any library which can easily render something like this? It's surprisingly hard to find something which lets you fix left hand columns and also render as many columns as I need.

jexcel still maintains an open source community edition https://github.com/paulhodel/jexcel , no such thing exists for this project.

Congratulations on launching, but consider distilling a part of the project and making it available under a free and open source license like MIT or Apache or BSD.
There are many commercial and open source products on the market, some more established and less expensive than your offering. From the business standpoint, it's easy to sell something like ag-grid because many developers have experience with its open source offering, so we know that we can find experienced people on the market to help if necessary. Your project doesn't benefit from that community and doesn't benefit from having a lower price point (it's comparable to what ag-grid charges)

How did you implement the scrolling such that it feels smooth/fast/native, but scrolls in one row/column steps (so you never see half a row)?
CSS Scroll Snap?
Nicely done.
