Introducing the gp-grid blog
·Giovanni Patruno
The documentation tells you how to use gp-grid. This blog is about why it works the way it does.
gp-grid is built around a simple promise: a modern, lightweight, fast and community-driven grid with zero runtime dependencies — no feature paywalls, no enterprise traps. Keeping that promise involves a lot of engineering decisions that never make it into API reference pages, and this is the place to write them down.
What to expect here
- Design deep dives — the reasoning behind features such as virtual scrolling with wheel dampening, or how sorting works on very large datasets.
- Trade-off stories — what we tried, what failed, and why the current approach won.
- Release context — the bigger picture behind milestones listed in the changelog.
- Generic News - generic news that can can include events related to gp-grid ecosystem
If you want release-by-release details instead, the changelog and the GitHub releases have you covered. You can also subscribe to the RSS feed to get both blog posts and release notes as they land.
