Hello Hacker News!

I have just launched SpreadsheetPreview, an embeddable Javascript/Typescript component that displays an Excel file (.xlsx) in any browser.

Benefits: No upload. No server. No Microsoft Office dependency.

You can see it here: https://spreadsheetpreview.com.

The component is based on DataGrid Toolkit, the toolkit that also powers upcoming DataGridXL v4, which is an editable data grid component with an Excel-like interface.

The component is free to use for non-commercial projects. Commercial use requires license.

Please try it out and let me know what you think!

Best,

Robbert

Cool game! Reminds me of the untitled Goose Game, bullying citizens, is that a genre? It should definitely be a genre.

I am working on SpreadsheetPreview.com, a subscription service that gives you PNG previews of your uploaded spreadsheet (xlxs files).

On the server it opens a headless browser, where it converts the XLXS format to OGF (Open Grid Format), which is then rendered by DataGrid Toolkit, the engine behind DataGridXL v4. It then takes a screenshot of this render and sends it back to the requester.

Try out a few renders at https://spreadsheetpreview.com

I am working on a browser plugin that lets you edit Supabase database tables just like Excel, until it's ready. Then you switch to the main branch and the tables will be read only

Looks like a very complete, well-thought out spreadsheet solution. If anyone is looking for a simpler excel-like data grid component, have a look at DataGridXL (https://datagridxl.com), my product.
