I'm working on a real-time collaboration backend for data grids like AG Grid, Glide Data Grid, and MUI Data Grid.

The goal is to eliminate the boilerplate: WebSocket infra, Redis sync, conflict resolution, and writebacks — all managed under the hood. Just wrap your grid with a React SDK, define your data adapter, and start collaborating.

Right now I'm in the early stages and trying to validate a few things:

Have you ever needed real-time collab for editable grids?

What did you use — Firebase, CRDTs, something homegrown?

What were the biggest pain points?

Curious to hear stories from people who’ve solved this (or avoided it). I'm also quietly building a beta waitlist if anyone's interested, but mostly here to learn from others tackling similar problems.
