Announcing: Cerious Grid - A High-Performance Angular Grid, Open Source and Ready to Launch

After months of building, testing, and fine-tuning, I’m thrilled to announce that Cerious Grid, a feature-rich Angular data grid, is about to be released as an open-source project.

This isn’t just another table component. Cerious Grid is built from the ground up to handle massive data sets, complex UI needs, and enterprise-level flexibility—all without sacrificing performance. It’s a solution forged from real-world use cases, and now, it’s going public.

Cerious Grid is the first component to be released in the new Cerious Widgets UI Component Library for Angular.

🚀 Why Open Source?

Some might wonder why I’d release such a comprehensive project for free. Here’s why this release matters:

🧠 Community-Driven Innovation

Open source invites fresh ideas and outside contributions. I want developers everywhere to explore what’s possible with this grid, customize it, and maybe even help shape its future.

🛠 Built to Be Extended

Cerious Grid uses a plugin-based architecture, making it incredibly flexible. Features like multi-column sorting, virtual scrolling, Excel export, column pinning, grouping, and server-side support are just the beginning.

📣 Sharing the Journey

This project reflects the engineering patterns I believe in—clean architecture, separation of concerns, performance tuning, and thoughtful UX. Sharing it is a way to contribute to the Angular ecosystem and connect with others who care about great developer tools.

🎯 Real Use Cases, Real Scale

Cerious Grid has been tested with large data sets, dynamic columns, and complex nested rows. Whether you’re building dashboards, admin portals, or reporting tools, this grid is designed to grow with your needs.

🔜 What’s Coming Next

The initial open-source release will include:

Virtual scrolling

Grouped headers

Column filtering

Excel export via xlsx

Multi-column sorting

Custom templates for cells, rows, headers

Server-side mode support

Plugin system for extensibility

Pagination, Group By, and more

🙌 Let’s Build Together

Releasing Cerious Grid is my way of giving back to the open-source community. So many of the tools and libraries I rely on every day come from the passion and generosity of developers who chose to share their work freely. This project is a contribution in that same spirit—an effort to support and strengthen the ecosystem that has supported me throughout my career.

This is just the beginning. The GitHub repository will be public soon, and I’d love your feedback, issues, stars, forks, and ideas.

Stay tuned for the release announcement—and if you’re building Angular apps, I think you’ll find Cerious Grid to be a solid foundation for your data-heavy UIs.
