Hi,
I am Robbert, creator of JavaScript Excel-like data table library DataGridXL (https://datagridxl.com https://datagridxl.com). I made this component since similar products are quite slow & unreliable.
I just released version 2 of the product and decided to add a few "Comparison Pages" to my website, to show visitors why my product is better (when it comes to performance & reliability).
Now, the most well known JavaScript Excel-like data table libary has sent me a Cease And Desist Letter by email (twice) demanding that I take this Compare page (https://www.datagridxl.com/features/compare-handsontable https://www.datagridxl.com/features/compare-handsontable) offline. I am not much of a legal rights expert, but so far I have ignored it. I can publish whatever I want, right? Freedom of speech?
So far I have just laughed it off and considered it very childish for a 20 person company to try to pressure me into taking this page offline. However, I could use the advice of the Hacker News community.
What should I do here? Ignore or take action?
- dont__panic 5y ago(sorry if this is off topic, but I couldn't resist asking) What platform are you using for your documentation? It looks very clean and page loads are pretty darn fast.
- robbiejs 5y agoThanks! The site is built from scratch using old school PHP. There is no fancy CMS or docs generator, everything is hand crafted in Sublime Text and uploaded by FTP. I know, I know! The product itself is state of the art ES6 ;-) For myself, I like things old school.
