Genuine question: Why would anyone purchase this for $299, without the ability to use it commercially? For open-source projects?

In-house tools, reports, dashboards.

Seconding this. Almost all of these "tabular" (although this a bit different) components frequently talk about their in-house tooling pricing. It's a big market.

I have tested on 32" 4K and 27" 4K and there was no performance issues. Slight degradation on Dell 42" 4K, could be because of the ppi or the pixel ratio, which might be causing canvas/row/cell/ dimensions to be not rounded to whole numbers (this can affect perf).

Interesting. Can you elaborate how you measure performance? What's perfoemance? Framer ate, cpu/gpu usage, mem, scroll speed?

There are quite a few methods to measure performance

We start of with the FPS monitoring tool which measure the frame rate, memory consumption and GPU sange

We switch to devtools->Performance analysis to measure function call times, layout thrashes and shifts, RAF bottleneck, memory consumption and CPU time.

We also use React devtools to measure re-rendering.

Scrolling is wrapped in Request animation frame loop, hence its being controlled by the browsers frame rate.

This absolutely looks amazing. But I also love this process of reinventing the electronic table (spreadsheet), and the columnar-text altogether. 10 more years and we're back in 1982. I would say that the spreadsheet-like data view is a must-do in the career of the UI person. But then this all, without proper back-end wired to it, means very little to the overall product experience. In fact - proper back-end with not-…

The back-end can be opinionated, allowing developers to choose their preferred stack, whether it's Python, PHP, Node, or Go.

In my view, a UI component should not be constrained or reliant on a specific back-end language.

That would probably be commercial. The term NC is actually a real can of worms. Either genuine non commercial work (government or non profit but they can be commercial) or as an evaluation/ prototype licence.

Nothing persists. All the diffs are sent over using Supabase and received by all other clients. The diffs are then applied to create the new state.

Seems like it's just being spammed with slurs currently. Might want to add a filter or censoring.

Yet another reason that I sometimes wish we had Taze-over-IP.
