This is a pretty good article that shows some good design ideas for data tables. That said, it is a puff piece for hiring at a company and not a recommendation for something to use.

There is exactly zero open source and/or free component data tables for React that do everything in this article.

Not only that, but many are so full of bugs or so difficult to implement that they might as well not exist at all.

Serious opportunity to create a top leading project that would have a huge impact on the usability of the web if everyone adopted it.

Edit: Yes, I'd contribute to working on a project like this under a permissive MIT license, but I don't want to do it alone.
