Great job and domain name! I like these kind of web tools that does one or two things really well. Some other examples: https://tableconvert.com - converts tables from format A to format B https://editcsvonline.com -

Looks very cool! Why did you choose divs for the project as opposed to canvas?

Version 2 (december) will have a very fast search feature. But you're right: CTRL+F does not work, as it is virtual. I don't really understand your idea, can you elaborate?

If your table is simple (values, no markup), try DataGridXL: here's a One Million Cells Demo that loads in an eyeblink: https://www.datagridxl.com/demos/one-million-cells . (Disclaimer: I am the maker)

Exactly, many different JS table/data grid/spreadsheet products out there, but there's not a single one that can "do it all". There's different categories, broadly: 1. A read-only table for presentation purpose

I'm sure grid was faster than table, However, for real performance benefits, forget about <table> and forget about grid: you need absolutely positioned DOM nodes, and CSS transform/translate for animations. You'll end u

Exactly, non-fixed row heights / column widths are a performance nightmare. I have managed to create a super fast Javascript Data Grid. There are many performance tricks, but the first thing I decided was to give each column a fixed wi

You can change thousands of DOM nodes in an eye-blink, but not while scrolling. It's too much for the DOM to repaint/redraw itself and keep 60fps scrolling. I have managed to create the fastest Javascript Data Grid out there by no

That works because Google Docs is a full-screen app. You can't really use Canvas-rendered tables inside a regular web page: it doesn't scale, for one. I have made a super fast spreadsheet-like component called DataGridXL, based on

You can have a super fast CSV editor online, in fact I made one: https://www.editcsvonline.com/ . It's based on my product DataGridXL, which, I believe, is the fastest Data Grid out there. Editing cell values with EditC

Thanks for your feedback. The app doesn't have export configuration at this moment, I made this free app as a means to promote/demonstrate the Excel-like component DataGridXL that the app uses. I have received similar feedback be

Yes I am! Thanks! I have tried that before, it got only a few upvotes! The Excel-like component DataGridXL did reach the HN homepage, July last year. I plan to release v2 December 2021 :-) Stay tuned!

Does https://editcsvonline.com count? It's an Excel-like CSV-editor that does not require an account. It's made with localstorage and a save button :-)

That looks great, nicely done! It's always a pain to create good looking PDFs, I like the approach!

Thank you. I have seen it, but I do not like the Google Blogger interface. Also afraid that, like so many other Google products in the past, it could be taken down at any time. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you for your suggestions, Posthaven looks promising, will try it out!

Seems like a great command line tool. Congrats! FYI, I have made a browser-based tool for viewing and editing CSV files. Super fast, with Excel-like controls: https://editcsvonline.com .

I stricly use JS client-side. I like that it is flexible and not strict. It does not judge. You can get really creative with it. And I like to work with Event Listeners :-)

Ah I see. You could still offer re-ordering even when sub-forms are expanded. The sub-forms are not that tall if I am correct. Perhaps add outlines/borders around sub forms, so that users know what they belong to. I know the page looks

I like it. Very to-the-point. One thing that annoys me is when I click "Job #5" it expands a new form and jumps to it immediately. It is very confusing. For me it would be better if the whole form was expanded at all times. Then I

Looks really nice. In what language is the app itself written? If it's web app, I'm curious to know what table component you are using. Also, for anyone looking to edit simple csv files in an excel-like matter, please check https

Perhaps your father did not want you to make more money than he did. Some fathers have very fragile egos.

I have made https://editcsvonline.com , a simple tool to edit CSV files without the need for Excel or Google Sheets. It's a free tool that anyone can use, meant to promote my Excel-like product DataGridXL.

I don't know lvh.me, but it sounds similar to nip.io and xip.io. If you don't want to rely on a free service to point to your localhost, I recommand ngrok.io. I believe they have a free plan. It works with your virtual hosts as we

Love the idea. I am using Mailchimp right now but can get quite expensive. If I send mails using Sendgrid, or some other provider, using Sendsimple, can I review bounce rates and click rates as well?

I'm not sure if I get it. Is this a web app with a spreadsheet-like UI (like https://datagridxl.com )?
