There have been countless FOSS-centric bounty sites since the late 1990s. They never took off in a significant way and now people are using subscription-based platforms like Patreon and Liberapay: https://github.com/uraimo/awesome-software-patreons/

I guess in hindsight one could say that bounties are too messy while a subscription-based approach is much clearer (less managing overhead etc.).

Quoting from https://wiki.snowdrift.coop/market-research/history/software

"Many bounty sites have been tried over many years. Some sites that have come and gone: The Free Software Bazaar, CoSource, Fundry, Public Software Fund, BountyOSS, BitKick, COFundOS (which alled users to place bounties for new applications as well as for changes to existing programs), Opensourcexperts.com, Donorge, Bountycounty, Bounty Hacker, microPledge, FundHub (some unrelated site uses that name now, not surprisingly), GitBo, Catincan, DemandRush, and Open Funding (broken though the main domain openinitiative.com still exists) — and probably others we never discovered. GNOME and Launchpad each made attempts at supporting bounties but that never came to anything substantial. FOSS Factory (which is still live but has had no activity for years) bothered writing their own essay on the history of other failed bounty sites."

ExcelJS and XLSX (SheetJS) are great libraries to work with XLSX files. The former I've found a bit easier to work with but less efficient in general.

Sure. I manipulate excel files programatically in the browser all the time. I don't really understand your exact workflow, but I use Javascript with xlsx and React.

Looking at the xlsx documentation, to parse files in the browser, rather than readFile, you use read, which is designed to parse binary data directly, rather than read from disk. There are a bunch of different formats if you go to the XLSX NPM page and scroll down to "Acquiring and Extracting Data". Importantly, it seems the data must already be serialized, so a Blob won't work, but we can work with that.

Last year, Bing and Edge erroneously flagged our website https://sheetjs.com/ as "dangerous": https://i.imgur.com/BvA3zrk.png

At the time, there was no "Safety Report" to indicate why Bing thought it was dangerous. The report page linked to https://www.bing.com/toolbox/bing-site-safety?url=https%3a%2... and it said "That web page doesn't exist"

To fix it, we had to register with "Bing Webmaster Tools" (https://www.bing.com/webmasters/about) and raise a support ticket.

Within a few days, the issue "resolved itself". It's possible that raising a ticket forced some automatic refresh of the indexed data for the domain.
