Missing sorting, filtering and other common table features
From 3 comments
This is nice, but it's missing a few of the killer features from things like Airtable or MUI DataGrid: sorting/filtering, row/column pinning, aggregation rows, pivoting, etc.…

Questions
How does it compare to Tabulator or TanStack Table
From 2 comments
Congratulations! How would you compare it to Tabulator?
Keyframe on HNIm not familiar with tank stack table, but being “headless” does it mean that it could be combined with DataSheetGrid for the UI ?

Does it support real-time multi-user editing
From 1 comment
Does it support multiple users editing same row or column ? And can we see others changes in realtime like cursors of other user ?
