EtherCalc VS rowy

Somewhat random, but spreadsheets continued to evolve after VisiCalc (obviously).

Here is one by the inventor of VisiCalc, Dan Bricklin, on github: https://github.com/DanBricklin/socialcalc

Audrey Tang (who happens to currently serve as the Minister of Digital Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan)) created the Node.js port of SocialCalc, EtherCalc: https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc

Audrey made a fascinating write up of SocialCalc for The Architecture of Open Source Applications https://aosabook.org/en/v1/socialcalc.html

I think there's several possible solutions: * No-code/low-code database platforms (e.g., NocoDB) * Personal finance manager (e.g., Firefly III) * Spreadsheets (e.g., CryptPad for a full office suite or Ethercalc) * Task management systems (e.g., Vikunja)

Try CryptPad or EtherCalc.

Ethercalc, although a bit dated, works ok on docker https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc

no, i missed that one when i was searching, but from the homepage and a quick glance through the docs it doesn't seem like it does what i need. what i want is something like react-data-grid [https://github.com/adazzle/react-data-grid] but with a backend component that handles collaborative updates. essentially a stripped down and actively maintained alternative to ethercalc [https://ethercalc.net/]

baserow had a lot of what i wanted, but the top-level feature set seemed very oriented towards a db admin tool rather than a programmatically managed user interface to single tables or views.

Well, to be fair Libre Office online exists[0]. However, I believe EtherCalc[1] is faster.

Rowy - Open Source Alternative to Airtable

You can checkout opensource project Rowyhttps://github.com/rowyio/rowy - it a spreadsheet UI for database and can do databasy things like you said!

formulas but in JS/TS,

Just thought will put it out here as it seems like a pain point we also faced when trying to use Firestore console UI...trying to manage the data/find it etc was a pain :( So we built an open-source spreadsheet-like UI to manage your Firestore data as easily. Hope you find it useful :) Website: https://rowy.io/ Github: https://github.com/rowyio/rowy

Also from the same makers, there is rowy.io however that is completely different beast in its own :)

Tables I would image when it is released, should be a great Airtable alternative. With Rowy, we are building an Airtable like experience but your actual database on Firestore. So that developers can continue to build their apps. https://github.com/rowyio/rowy

What scale have you tested the UI at? Do you have any demo / benchmarks for over 1M rows?

Reading through the infinite scrolling PR [1] it looks like scrolling isn’t virtualized (like Airtable’s) so the browser will start choking when it has too many elements in the DOM.
