Sorry for the Self-Promo—I Built a Lightweight React Table and would love feedback

Hey DEV Community,

I’m sorry if this feels like self-promotion, but I’m really looking for feedback on a project I’ve been working on. I created Simple Table, a lightweight (16 kB) React data grid with features similar to AG Grid, but completely free. I built it because I couldn’t afford AG Grid’s pro version when I needed advanced table features, so I wanted a free alternative with solid functionality.

Here’s some of what Simple Table includes:

Installation & Setup: Easy npm install and a quick-start guide.

Column Features: Resizing, reordering, visibility, pinning, alignment, sorting, and nested headers for complex data.

Row Features: Grouping with expandable rows and adjustable row heights.

Cell Features: Inline editing, cell highlighting for selections, and custom renderers for advanced displays.

Advanced Features: Pagination for large datasets, live updates for real-time data, and virtualization to handle thousands of rows efficiently (e.g., 10,000+ rows).

Customization: Light/dark themes, custom icons, and full theme customization to fit your app.

It’s TypeScript-ready and designed for ease of use, with detailed docs and examples here: https://www.simple-table.com.

I’d appreciate any feedback on the features or usability.

What do you look for in a React table library?
What could I improve?

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and if you share feedback, that’d be awesome!
