Sounds like a very strange approach, those LibreOffice Calc scrollbars ;-) Sometimes it's useful to give a minimal width/height for a scrollbar thumb, so that it remains visible and selectable. A tiny scrollbar thumb might be &quo

You know your stuff, I can tell! In a pre-release version, we had hidden the native scrollbar and put our own scrollbar graphic on it that would animate using CSS transform according to native scroll offsets vs. DGXL viewport dimensions. Th

I see. I did spend a few months on a crypto trading platform and they had this frequent-updating table to display latest prices for each currency. DGXL really is an input-first component, so I haven't thought of this websocket approach

Absolutely. In the development process of our product DataGridXL we've also experimented a lot with "scrollwheel" events and such, for months really. It's just not possible to get it to feel natural. You might be able to

This looks like a really great effort, better than other canvas spreadsheets I have seen. Great work!

I love that man. Brilliant mind. I have lived a Digital Nomad lifestyle for 2 years and when I was in homestays on the countryside, I always felt relaxed and blessed. Just some chickens roaming around, some fruit you could pick. Simple life

Cool stuff! slice always confuses me. The one example that results in ‘banana’ I had to look twice. Would be nice to also mention function parameters and a “randomize” button. See for example the playground API of DataGridXL ( https:/&

Hi janci, just letting you know that the bug has been fixed. Thank you for spotting it! The current solution that I came up with: replace \n with Return HTML-entity. Not sure if that is the best solution for you (or anybody else) but at lea

Is that what "dataSource" does? ( https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Widg... ) I don't know DevExtreme and I have to admit that I find the API Reference a little overwhelming. If

Another plug - https://datagridxl.com It's a fully HTML SpreadSheet, no downsides that come with canvas. The Grid works even without any frameworks. You can see a demo here of One Million Cells - https://www.data

Not 100% sure what you mean, but it sounds like a "server-side first" approach (if that word exists). As grid & chart libs are always built by (front-end) Javascript experts, you'll always see a front-end first approach.

Congrats on your launch and front page mention! Must have been a lot of hard work, I can relate. Best of luck!

Google Sheets performance is terrible indeed. I carefully studied G. Sheets for our data grid product DatagridXL ( https://datagridxl.com ) and many times I was shocked by how slow and old it feels when performing basic operations

DOM can be even faster than canvas as long as you’re smart about it, as discussed in last week’s Show HN of DatagridXL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23909894 , https://datagridxl.com

Ah, sounds good. Do you mean the grid keeps front-end and back-end data synced? DGXL does not offer that at this moment. You could probably recreate something like it by using getData and setData methods and implement some kind of AJAX comm

Hi. Can you explain what you mean by "incremental updates"? Regarding other bullet points: * Nested Grids: no * Formulas: no / not anytime soon * Column based filtering: not on top of the list, but definitely doable.

Ah I think I know what you mean now. I think you mean when you paste multi-line text inside the cell value editor! You're right, thanks for spotting it! This does not happen when you paste when the editor is not open, am I correct?

Ag-grid has a lot more features. Very mature, big team I'd guess. However, Ag-grid does not offer quick Excel-like editing. If you're looking for this type of editing, don't bet on Ag-grid.

Yes. Let's say your data grid has 200 columns, but only 10 columns (DOM nodes) are rendered in the viewport. The other 190 columns are cached. When scrolling horizontally, column nodes are appended/preprended on-the-fly. The old o
