Polished demo with real-time collaboration

This looks great! We've looked at a lot of these for our database GUI. I really love how fleshed out this is, and the multiplayer aspect of it!

Objections
Price is too high, especially with non-commercial-only license
From 4 comments
Genuine question: Why would anyone purchase this for $299, without the ability to use it commercially? For open-source projects?
bugsmith on HNWho is the "solo" pricing targeting? I can't think of a single reason someone would pay $299 for "Non-commercial use" license to a library...
cjonas on HNThis is absurdly expensive. It might be worth it, but can’tvl imagine many people would pay? Then again, I guess you need only one enterprise using this thing in all their apps.
Aeolun on HNExpensive or perhaps more kindly premium.

DiabloD3 on HNThe frequency with which this page crashes with JS errors does not encourage me to use components from this source.

Laggy scrolling on some mobile devices
From 2 comments
Scrolling the sheet on my pixel 4a is very laggy. Is this server latency or client side lag?
owenpalmer on HNI'm checking it out on my phone and scrolling through the interface is pretty choppy, but rather fluid in a Google sheet. Maybe you might be able to further tweak the virtual row…

Free trial before buying

Is there a way to try this before I buy it? 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!…

How accessibility is handled with canvas rendering
From 1 comment
Curious: since you are rendering everything via canvas, how do you do accessibility?
