From the sources

Built as the basis of the Glide Data Editor – we're hiring . Cells are rendered lazily on demand for memory efficiency. You only need to fetch the data that is being displayed. Native scrolling keeps everything buttery smooth. No javascript scrollbars, no weird touch behavior, just real native scrolling. MIT licensed so you can use glide-data-grid in commercial projects. Glide Data Grid is maintained by Glide with ❤. Glide Data Grid can handle hundreds of thousands of updates per second. Less time spent updating the grid means more time running your application.

  ChartGPU – WebGPU-powered charting library (1M points at 60fps)Jan 2026 · github.com · ▲670

  Creator here. I built ChartGPU because I kept hitting the same wall: charting libraries that claim to be "fast" but choke past 100K data points. The core insight: Canvas2D is fundamentally CPU-bound. Even WebGL chart libraries still do most computation on the CPU. So I moved everything to the GPU via WebGPU: - LTTB downsampling runs as a compute shader - Hit-testing for tooltips/hover is GPU-accelerated - Rendering uses instanced draws (one draw call per series) The result: 1M points at 60fps with smooth zoom/pan. Live demo:…

  DataSheetGrid, an Airtable-like React component2023 · react-datasheet-grid.netlify.app · ▲342

  I've built and have been maintaining a React component that renders an Airtable / Notion-like component for a few years. This can be seen as an where the value is an array of objects. You can then specify any number of columns that are each responsible for rendering an input for a specific key. The component handles all accessibility features like keyboard navigation, adding / removing rows, context menu, virtualization... If you ever need your users to input long lists of data, this might be a good way to render the form!

  Datagridxl2.js – Fast Excel-like data table library2022 · datagridxl.com · ▲301

It does not even require messing with CSS. - It has its own Virtual DOM implementation to prevent DOM errors. - Developer friendly. Supports all modern web browsers Please take a look at…
