Tables are something I want to tackle and I'd like to do them right because (as you point out) are crucial. I didn't get there yet...

I want to make it such that you can code on the left and then hide everything and share that with non technical folks. That's why I did not use a Colab, creating something interactive with it (and I did that quite a lot in the past) it's a bit of a PITA.

I highly suggest that you look at both Org mode table formats, one of them almost certainly has much of the UI and features you are targeting.

As a well seasoned web developer, when I'm doing front-end, there are always 2 big problems: Data tables and loading indicators (fun way of saying it's hard to tackle lazy loading without a request waterfall).

The second problem has had good attempts in the recent years, but no single web application can beat excel in terms of data tables (while not 100% relevant anymore, I really like the super light introduction here from Joel Spolsky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxBg4sMusIg )
