Tabulator VS Isotope

Coded mainly in Perl and Gnuplot, recently extended by Python Pandas and JavaScript Tabulator and ECharts

We use Tabulator for a similar use case at my job, it has a virtual DOM to support thousands of rows pretty well. It's not React based, it's a vanilla JS library. There is a React wrapper here but I don't have experience with that.

If you familiar with programming, then defiantly it way to go, tabulator as a CRUD for frontend and simplest sqlite backend. The reason such type of apps not broadly exists is that because any business has it's own workflow, so all-in-one common apps became overloaded with useless features but doesn't have feature a client needs

as well to have a choice for theme with detailed info page (size/modefied-time) with sorting capability (by utilizing something like tabulator)

http://tabulator.info/ I've used this one for a project, you basically navigate trough cells by using TAB or Click, update the cell and when leaving the cell an event fires (there you can set an ajax request to update the db).

Tabulator : interactive tables and data grids for JavaScript.

Tabulator! http://tabulator.info

Or tabulator http://tabulator.info/ .. I don't see filtering though.

I had access to a Windows server VM at a previous job that was commissioned for a piece of work. The actual work was then stopped, but the IT folks never decommissioned the VM so I had a nice little server on the local network to play around with. It didn't have Internet access so I was somewhat limited in what I could do with it.

I ended up building a hacky internal IIS/PHP web app (I guess these days one would call it an SPA) that hooked into the company's Active Directory that showed a nice little page of people in our "business unit", with their names, pictures, employee grade (analyst/consultant/manager etc.) and subteam -- basically any bit of info I could get from a user's Active Directory profile.

It used Datatables (https://datatables.net/) for a simple text-based table view and Isotope (https://isotope.metafizzy.co/) for a card-based grid view that you could quickly toggle between.

I called it the "Book of Faces" and announced it to my team at a team social event, and it took off massively beause it was way more performant, simpler, and just much less painful to use than using the clunky corporate intranet app to check user profiles.

Word spread outside of my team and I started getting requests from various other teams to set up similar pages for them as well, which I was only too happy to oblige. This spurred me on to refactor it to make it as simple as possible to set up new team pages.

This silly thing boosted my profile a ridiculous amount within the company, just because I'd left a small footer "emailto" link that people could use to get in touch with suggestions/bugs.

I maintained it as a side project and surreptitious internal app for about 6 years until I left the org, after which I handed it over to someone else. Last I heard though, internal IT finally caught wind of it, and in what I suppose is a "progressive for its kind" response, spoke to the users of the various pages and built a corporate-ised version of the same thing.

A decade-plus of working in tech and data, and that IIS-PHP-JS monstrosity is still one of the bits of work I'm most proud of!

Thanks.

Is that really how GPL works tho?

Seems other projects do this: Qt - https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/licensing.html, Isotope - https://github.com/metafizzy/isotope#license

Thanks, we will fix if wrong. Tho...

It may be too late!

Other products in this: Qt - https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/licensing.html, Isotope - https://github.com/metafizzy/isotope#license

What do you suggest?

https://github.com/metafizzy/isotope

Does the commercial license use a different repo?

I was also a big fan of isotope library back in the day

check this out :)) https://isotope.metafizzy.co/

I think this could be a decent alternative to Isotope's filter & sort magical layouts:

https://github.com/metafizzy/isotope

It was so popular back in the day but hasn't received any recent updates.

Isotope or masonry JS come to mind.
