Hey everyone,

We’ve just released LyteNyte Grid v2.1. While this is technically a minor release, it introduces some pretty significant additions to the grid.

Shadcn has changed quite a bit since we first started providing our own Shadcn registry. With v2.1 we improved the styling integration, and added a set of new features that you can immediately leverage in your apps.

You can directly use the Shadcn CLI to drop an enterprise ready data grid into your apps, for free. We have a dedicated guide for this here.

What’s New

• Expressions: We’ve added a general-purpose expression engine along with a dedicated expression editor component. Expressions can be used for advanced filtering, computed cell formulas, and other dynamic logic. While they integrate seamlessly with LyteNyte Grid, expressions are standalone and can be reused throughout your application.
• Cell Range Selection is Now Free: Based on community feedback, cell range selection has been moved into the free Core edition. We appreciate all the feedback we’ve received so far, and we’re always open to hearing more.
• Agentic Coding Support with Skills: As AI-assisted development becomes more common, we’ve added official skills support for LyteNyte Grid in both the Core and PRO editions. You can now use agentic coding tools to scaffold and build complex grid implementations faster, while LyteNyte Grid handles the heavy lifting around performance, state management, and accessibility.

There are no breaking changes in this release, and we already have more features in development.

We also recently passed 10,000 weekly downloads on npm, which is a huge milestone for us. Thanks to everyone who has tried the grid, shared feedback, reported issues, or contributed ideas along the way. Tiny internet numbers. The modern substitute for human fulfillment.

All our source code is publicly available on GitHub. If you find this helpful and like what we’re building, GitHub stars help. Feature suggestions and code contributions are always welcome.

If you’ve ever worked on data grids, you probably already know that using AI to generate one doesn’t pan out very well. Too many edge cases and too much complexity at scale.

Combining AI with legacy grid libraries also doesn’t really help, because most grid libraries have opinionated interfaces, imperative APIs, and layers of mapping code that end up breaking AI agents. That’s why I view the ‘data grid’ as AI’s final frontier on the web.

So… when we created LyteNyte Grid (40kb, lightning fast, React data grid), we had one obvious use case for AI in mind. Literally have AI build the data grid for you.

If AI could do this reliably, accurately, and consistently, that would, in our minds, be a massive value-add for developers. You could build complex grid iterations in seconds.

Unlike other data grids, LyteNyte Grid has a declarative API and a unique, 100% stateless, fully prop-driven architecture.

Why is it particularly effective?

• AI understands React. LyteNyte Grid is built in React for React (no wrappers).
• Since our grid is fully prop-driven, there is no mapping or translation code.
• It uses familiar React patterns, so simpler prompts yield more accurate results.
• A11y is built directly into the grid, so no hallucinating custom screen-reader properties.

Honestly, the results are insane. We’ve used Claude Code and built over 30 different advanced grid instances. Each time it’s been on point.

I wanted to share it here to get some honest feedback and, hopefully, to have some of you try it out. It’s free and open source. All our code is publicly available on GitHub.

Hi Everyone,

Excited to share that LyteNyte Grid v2.1 is out.

Major updates:

LyteNyte Grid AI Skills

Skills give your AI agent curated knowledge of LyteNyte Grid, so it can generate advanced data grids accurately and consistently.

Instead of wiring up the grid manually, just describe what you want and let your agent handle it. With Skills, you can quite literally go from idea to a production-ready data grid in seconds.

Most grid libraries have opinionated interfaces, imperative APIs, and layers of mapping code that AI agents struggle to deal with. LyteNyte Grid does not.

Thanks to its stateless architecture, Skills works very well, making it extremely effective for AI applications.

• AI understands React, and LyteNyte Grid is built in React for React (no wrappers).
• Our grid has a declarative API and is fully prop-driven, so no mapping or translation code.
• It uses familiar React patterns, so simpler prompts yield more accurate results.
• Accessibility is built directly into the grid, so no hallucinating custom screen-reader properties.

Cell Range Selection & Clipboard Now Free

We made cell range selection and clipboard free and open-source. Part of our vision of making LyteNyte Grid Core the most feature-rich open-source React data grid, which also includes row grouping and row master detail for free.

Powerful Expression Capabilities

Introduces cell-level computations, user-defined logic, and filter expressions directly to the grid. Developers can now easily expose spreadsheet-like data manipulation directly to their end-users.

Finally, Thank You!

Hi Folks,

If you’ve ever tried to save time by using AI to wire up your data grid, you’ve likely run into challenges when things got complex. The reason is that grid libraries often come with opinionated interfaces, imperative APIs, and layers of mapping code that AI agents tend to struggle with.

LyteNyte Grid 2.1 is our first step toward solving that.

v2.1 ships AI Skills, giving your AI agent curated knowledge of LyteNyte Grid, so it can generate advanced grid implementations more accurately and consistently.

Instead of wiring the grid manually, just describe the result and let your agent handle the rest.

The idea is not “AI magically builds your app.” Cause it won’t. But with Skills, you can go from idea to a production-ready data grid in minutes.

LyteNyte Grid works particularly well with Skills, thanks to its stateless architecture, making it exceptionally effective for AI applications.

AI understands React, and LyteNyte Grid is built in React for React (no wrappers).

Our grid is declarative and fully prop-driven, so AI agents don’t need mapping or translation code.

It uses familiar React patterns, so simpler prompts yield more accurate results.

Accessibility is built directly into the grid, so no hallucinating custom screen-reader properties.

Skills work with any coding agent that supports the Vercel Skills CLI, and is available for both Core (open-source) and Pro users.

In v2.1, we have also moved clipboard support and cell range selection into our free, open-source Core package. This shift aligns with our vision of being the most feature-rich open-source React data grid.

v.2.1 brings more PRO features as well:

• Expression Input Component.
• Expression Engine.
• Advanced Expression Filter.
• Expression Plugins for custom functions.
