my hoped-for use case was to be able to use one of these as a shared data grid in a webapp - that is, have a google sheets like collaborative spreadsheet backed by a db table, and use that as a component in my app. I checked a few out a while ago and sadly none of them really looked suitable for that - they were all pushing hard on the no code angle and seemed pretty hard to strip down to just a table component.

Did you try directus.io ?

no, i missed that one when i was searching, but from the homepage and a quick glance through the docs it doesn't seem like it does what i need. what i want is something like react-data-grid [https://github.com/adazzle/react-data-grid] but with a backend component that handles collaborative updates. essentially a stripped down and actively maintained alternative to ethercalc [https://ethercalc.net/]

baserow had a lot of what i wanted, but the top-level feature set seemed very oriented towards a db admin tool rather than a programmatically managed user interface to single tables or views.
