An excellent decision, I guess. I'm somehow thinking way too much about such details instead of starting any project. In my previous job, we have used PHP at the backend, but somehow, I like the syntax of python much more. And the community and number of projects around Django are just mind-boggling. So you are probably using Django-REST for the API? With react-virtualized, you are already on the right path as virtual rendering - rendering only the currently visible cells - is the key in regards to the performance of DOM-based approaches. But if you want to reach google sheets performance, there is probably no way around canvas-based rendering (e.g. https://github.com/fin-hypergrid/core or https://github.com/TonyGermaneri/canvas-datagrid). Office 365 seems to use a canvas-based approach as well. The problem with the canvas-based approach
Read the rest
is that interaction like mouse clicks and key navigation is a lot more complicated. I think one of the fastest DOM-based grids out there is https://github.com/6pac/SlickGrid. But there shouldn't be too much difference in performance to react-virtualized as both are DOM-based. Often these components are called "grid" if you search for alternatives. Feel free to contact me if you have some specific questions :-)

When you moved to Angular and later to React did you have any jQuery heavy libraries? I'm using stuff like slickgrid[0], jquery-ui datepicker, json-editor[1] and wonder how I will drive these components from something like Angular or React? doh, quickly googled for the github links below and saw there now a slickgrid-es6[2] fork which I have not tried. But my question still stand: how do you drive jquery libs from newer frameworks?

Do any large companies use your library? If so, they likely have requirements to make their sites accessible. It may be worth finding out if they've modified your library in any way to make it accessible (or simply easier to make the end result accessible) and can submit the changes back. We're looking at doing that for a table library (slickgrid, e.g. [1]) we use, as we'd prefer to help an existing in-use library over doing more NIH work.
