Great to see some innovation with data tables and UI. You might also like Backgrid which has the following features out of the box: - Sorting - Filtering (server/client/fuzzy) - Searching (client/server) - Persistence (using backbone REST routes) - Inline Editing (multiple types including dates, urls, dropdowns) - Pagination https://github.com/wyuenho/backgrid http://backgridjs.com/

BackgridJS - http://backgridjs.com/ Backgrid.js is a set of components for building semantic and easily stylable data grid widgets using Backbone.js. There are a number of features I'd like to implement soon. - Infinite paging - Fixed header - Column auto-fit - Column resizing - Icicle tree row and cells for multi-dimensional nested data This project's been around for a little more than 1 year and has already sprung up dozens of different extensions. I look forward to working with whoever is interested in contributing. Take a look at this ticket if interested: https://github.com/wyuenho/backgrid/issues/244

Can you read 1 million rows at a time like Neo :P Jokes aside, no it cannot, not yet anyway. This is version 0.1 and I really have no intension of cloning SlickGrid. That said, the infrastructure is here http://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/176tvf/backgridj... and avoiding DOM repainting is on the top of my list for version 0.2. https://github.com/wyuenho/backgrid/issues/26 This should take only 3 lines of code. PR welcome!

Oh you have over-estimated my power to make terrible jQuery plugins disappear. Terrible they may be, they certainly have a right to exist, they just should crowd out the really good ones on an official plugin site. I have given up on writing jQuery plugins. Something about calling "methods" on the plugin by using a string isn't resonating with me. But since you've asked, I recently have open sourced 2 backbone projects on Github. One has reached 1.0 tho I just discovered a few bugs, another one is coming along with a first release soon. https://github.com/wyuenho/backbone-pageable https://github.com/wyuenho/backgrid
