This absolutely looks amazing. But I also love this process of reinventing the electronic table (spreadsheet), and the columnar-text altogether. 10 more years and we're back in 1982.
I would say that the spreadsheet-like data view is a must-do in the career of the UI person. But then this all, without proper back-end wired to it, means very little to the overall product experience. In fact - proper back-end with not-so-cool UI may deliver quite the experience...
while this is impressive technically I also get the feeling that we are back in 1982. Spreadsheets are great general purpose tools and useful for financial modeling. But I'd argue they provide a terrible UX for most other tasks. The default assumption that every cell is editable is demonstrably bad - even for financial modeling. Yes you can lock cells and columns, but this is a sticking plaster. Anyway I'm probably biased in this area as I'm working on a https://addmaple.com where we are attempting a very different UX for working with tabular data.
I once wrote a React app with was essentially a spreadsheet view, except each sheet was a "table", and tables could be related to one another via columns which were belongs to/has many types.
Writing the front end and back end for this was one of the most complicated things I've ever worked on. I'd love to try it again at my current stage of knowledge and experience.
Best question, right here. I suspect, someone is relying on there being a Marketplace for "pluggable react components". I know you know...it's a mess...
That would probably be commercial. The term NC is actually a real can of worms. Either genuine non commercial work (government or non profit but they can be commercial) or as an evaluation/ prototype licence.
Seconding this. Almost all of these "tabular" (although this a bit different) components frequently talk about their in-house tooling pricing. It's a big market.
duplicate capture group name in regular expression
I find that if I refrain from editing the contents of cells, then this crash doesn't occur, and I can see lots of people modify stuff in real-time. I can play with everything but the contents of a cell, otherwise I get a crash.
SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /^(?<year>\d{4})(\-)(?<month>\d{1,2})(\-)(?<year>\d{1,2})T(?<hour>\d{1,2})\:(?<minute>\d{1,2})\:(?<second>\d{1,2})(Z?)$/i: Duplicate capture group name
This happens whenever I insert text to any cell. I just tried inserting "TEST" to a cell on the first sheet, then pushed the Enter key. It also happens when I use arrow keys to move away from a cell I am editing.
I am building something that would probably benefit from this, but with that price tag (solo indy dev) that's going to be a big ask! might be worth it, just no way of knowing without trying it first

In my view, a UI component should not be constrained or reliant on a specific back-end language.
Declaratively render cells, embed external content, use custom formulas, collaborate with other users all using composable ReactJS UI components.

We offer support for keyboard shortcuts and navigation, and our platform is natively compatible with both light and dark modes.
We also provide the option for developers to customise themes, ensuring optimal accessibility for users with low/tunnel vision.

So yeah, I don't know who would be the target, probably very niche.
