This is almost exactly the same as coda.io, which is much more polished, and I highly recommend for small data. Just looking at grist for the first time now it seems like it might not have commenting, which I find very useful sometimes for collaboration. Grist though is open source and seems to have an embeddable version.

But, is coda.io open source?

Big differentiators in Grist, in terms of features, are layouts, access rules, and formulas.

formulas are a big part of coda and so much easier and safer than excel. I don’t know what layouts and access rules are in grist, but there are similar sounding features in Coda as well.
