Hi HN, I am the developer behind SpreadSheet Grid. It's a React Library for users who want to develop an Excel-like DataGrid in their application. The reality is it's very hard to get users off Microsoft Excel, and especially during these times, it's good to have an online Excel viewer and editor in your, private and secure. Demo - https://rowsncolumns.app/demo https://rowsncolumns.app/demo 1. The library is built using React, and due to its declarative nature, it is very easy to customise and integrate it within your app 2. It is fast. Canvas is used for rendering. 3. Supports Autofilters, Frozen rows, columns, data validation, conditional formatting etc 4. Custom cell renderer 5. Formula support is coming soon with web worker support 6. Grouping Columns and Rows is coming soon We support 2 licenses. Non-commercial use (FREE) and Commercial use (USD 199 with 1 year support) Would love to answer any questions you have :)

Awesome work and love the pricing model.

  Good to hear. I didn't want to price it too steep and compete with Handsontable and ag-grid. They are wonderful products, but if you need a highly customisable, performance driven spreadsheet, which is declarative, I would highly suggest trying our product. :)

> Canvas is used for rendering. Does that mean accessibility tools are out the window? How much of it is rendered to canvas? When i double clicked a cell, and right clicked the text, the normal browser menu appeared. I noticed I get both context menus, yours and the browsers when I right click the font size.

  Hi, The data is rendered in canvas. When you are editing, you will see an html text input. Custom cell editors can be used too. We are planning to use Aria Live Region to support a11y https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Live_Regions https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/A...

A landing page that's completely blank if cookies are blocked by default isn't the greatest sell, especially for a dev tool. Cool idea, though, once I could see it.

  Ah. I wasn't aware of this. The website is built on docusaurus. I will check if there is workaround. Thanks for letting me know and sorry u were not able to access the site.

Hi, good job the sheet looks great. I was wondering why you choose the licencing model over the fund me style that many are choosing?

  > fund me style Mind educating me on this? I am new to this. Any examples and what they use?
  - hutch120 6y ago
    A "fund me style" could be something like https://opencollective.com/ https://opencollective.com/

  Has there been any significant success stories wherein people made a fair return on their time under the "fund me" model?

love it! you could probably charge more for commercial, you could probably go up to 1k and people would not blink for the amount of time you save.

  If you are a solo developer with $1000 budget then Handsontable is more mature and $790 for perpetual license with 1 year support. I do like the feel of this rowsncolumns.app Copying columns between Excel and rowsncolumns.app works nicely (minus formatting)

    Thanks.. There are some areas of improvement with Copy/Paste, especially formatting. Right now, i strip out formatting during paste https://github.com/rowsncolumns/grid/blob/master/packages/grid/src/hooks/useCopyPaste.ts#L139 https://github.com/rowsncolumns/grid/blob/master/packages/gr... Hope to get to it soon
