Spreadsheet

Main Points

Perhaps we should add an st-spreadsheet part and view. There a number of reasons for this:

  • spreadsheets are part computer interface semantics and people are accustomed to them
  • they are one of the best mainstream computing environments out there
  • they could be used as our replacement for both a data structure and data store/db
  • building it out of parts like st-field, although not impossible, would lead to performance issues for sure
  • we already made a really good custom web component that is meant to handle massive (infinite) amounts of data and do so quickly in the browser - this was a huge pain and there is no good reason to redo all the work. Moreover, this web component is open source so we could just grab it and integrated as necessary.
