This is absurdly expensive. It might be worth it, but can’tvl imagine many people would pay? Then again, I guess you need only one enterprise using this thing in all their apps.

Agreed. Interested in giving this a go, but current pricing is quite the turn off.

Is there some capable fully open source data grid providing spreadsheet functionality? Commercial / open-core are a no-go for me, since my goal is to integrate it into an open source project.

The demo is neat. How did you do the backend? As far as I see your offering is only related to the UI components. What databases and backends are you seeing users have success with?

The demo does not use a back-end service. We are agnostic to back-end frameworks. Some users have used Prisma + Graphql, NoSQL databases etc. The Sheet data structure on the UI can be flexible too. It can come from streaming data source, lazily loaded on-demand or all stored in browser memory

Admittedly, I haven't clicked on the link, but you appear to have avoided their question altogether. You offer product demos. Those demos source data from something, be it a JSON file, REST API, etc. Where is the demo data sourced from?

Is it able to handle tables with 1,000,000+ rows?

Actually, this is an important comment. Building a spreadsheet with web technology is not that difficult. However, building one with more than just the most basic features, which performs well, once the data grows, is a surprisingly hard task. To give an example of what makes it so difficult: Some browsers (e.g. Chrome) seem to have special optimizations for rendering tables. So performance-wise it makes a difference…

Which approach is more optimized in Chrome?
