Luckysheet, an open-source spreadsheet

Sharing and collaborative editing. Being able to coordinate some process via a shared spreadsheet in a browser is efficient and resolves all issues of conflicting versions. Think of an overview of who is going to the office on which days this week (useful in times of working from home due to Corona).

Responsiveness is not the primary concern here: good enough is fine for most purposes.

This is not a replacement for a proper spreadsheet editor (I prefer LibreOffice myself); it's a tool to collaborate on tabular data with a group of people and minimal overhead.

Interesting to note that cloud storage and realtime collaboration isn’t 100% tied to a browser-based interface though. Even though many existing apps work like that, there are desktop clients for a bunch of cloud-native SaaS (and even though some of those are Electron).

Regular desktop Excel supports multi user collaboration on workbooks saved in onedrive exactly the same as excel online/Google sheets etc do. You can see what other users are working on and their changes are synced instantly. The only annoyance is when one user changes a filter and it changes for everyone.

But isn't a problem in the browser, because you are always on the same version.

Using HTMl & CSS for your GUI is orthogonal with collaboration. It's just a hack that people accept
