#2Congratulations to the guys at Addepar on releasing this. They have been contributing an amazing amount of stuff to the Ember.js community—not least of which is helping us build Ember Data.
Probably my favorite thing about Ember is that it isn't built by academics toiling away in an ivory tower; it's driven by real-world problems that web developers are facing.
Our goal is to provide a set of tools that allow developers to build apps and not have to solve the same problem over and over. Displaying large sets of data is one of those problems, so this dovetails nicely with the mission of Ember.js. Thanks guys!

#3This is cool, and I kind of wish it was released a few months ago. I've been building something like this from scratch for a work project for a little while now. Did you guys look into using an actual , or did you go with divs form the start?

#4This looks great. Can anybody recommend a similar library (i.e. lazy-rendering table component) that either doesn't depend on a JS framework or uses backbone.js? I know Slickgrid but find it a bit too clunky on the whole, and re-styling it is awkward since its DOM isn't exactly straightforward.

We were using Slickgrid for a while and that was a very painful experience as the code was very complex, didn't do frozen rows/columns and didn't interoperate with Ember nicely. I think we wrote this with div's from scratch.

I second this. Any recommendations? ReclineJS is OK but have not had great success with it -- wraps Slickgrid. This table may be enough to make me jump into EmberJS from Backbone.

Coincidentally, I just finished a similar table using backbone. It isn't nearly as feature-rich, but it has sortable, movable, resizable columns, and a mechanism for adding filter fields. It was built for a specific purpose in an existing project, but I was actually going to work on turning it into a standalone library and writing a blog piece on it after work today.

#8Very nice, but you should add some "loading..." text until it's ready to display; on my iPad there were several seconds of a blank white screen and I thought something had gone awry.

#9This is really cool; it'll be interesting to see it's application to feed style content as opposed to tables (in the discussion on the html5 version of facebook mobile rendering the feed was a major bottleneck)

As a side note: if you're interested in this kind of stuff, we'd love to see you at the first Ember Camp, next February in San Francisco. You can even meet the guys who wrote this.
