The Design Philosophy of Great Tables (Software Package)
Why do you want to render to canvas?
Perspective seems to be the most performant html table. It is more focused on extremely fast updates than styling, although it looks good.
Glide is a newcomer that also renders to canvas.

Show HN: WhatTheDuck – open-source, in-browser SQL on CSV files
SQL workbench also uses https://perspective.finos.org/ for tables. It's a WASM table library which pairs nicely with duckdb and works well with large tables.

Yes. We are working on adding support for aggregation and pivoting using https://github.com/finos/perspective

Show HN: DataSheetGrid, an Airtable-like React component
I haven't looked extensively at react-datasheet. It looks like it is trying to build more of a full product than the other data tables.
I have used ag-grid extensively, its an impressive product. Some pieces are a little awkward to use, particularly auto-sizing. But generally ag-grid has thought of most functionality and has a solution. The creator of ag-grid had a great interview on Javascript Jabber [1].
The other serious data table component that I have seen is FinOS Perspective [2]. This is extremely high performance, also more specialized and probably harder to customize. I think Perspective renders to a canvas element from Rust/C++ compiled to WASM (not 100% sure). It is also made for streaming updates.
AG-Grid supports streaming updates... but only in the commercial version.
Eventually the data model for these types of tables becomes tricky. I will be investigating parquet-wasm for my use case. Hit me up if you want to collaborate.

ChDB: Embedded OLAP SQL Engine Powered by ClickHouse
Something like https://github.com/finos/perspective ? We use an OLAP(-y) WASM engine to provide query-ability to our data visualization tool, and doing the calculations in the browser is cheaper and simpler than a server-side database for datasets that fit in browser memory.

Pocketbase: Open-source back end in 1 file
It is great to see the number of good opensource projects in this area. Grist and NocoDB deserve mentions, although more targeted towards database management. It is also amazing that they provide so simple ways to get started (single file/electron)

Have you seen https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb? I'm not sure it supports concurrent editing, but seems like it might.

Unicorn Startup Airtable Lays Off 27% of Firm, Shifts Focus to Big Clients
Baserow is cool. We evaluated it within our company a few months ago and eventually settled for Nocodb (https://nocodb.com/) - easy to run, more mature.
Leaptable is another Open Source framework like Airtable I saw recently with support for AI Agents. https://github.com/peterwnjenga/leaptable

Undb – open-source airtable alternative
That looks interesting!
I currently use NocoDB with a MariaDB database, so I can't easily switch over as Undb doesn't support MySQL as I see. But it has the feature I'm missing in NocoDB: a Calendar View which funnily NocoDB promoted on their website but doesn't have [1]. I guess I'll give it a try!
