I'm not happy with LibreOffice which seems to just playing catch-up with what Microsoft did 5 years ago. While there's quite a few alternatives to Word for most people's uses, the alternative to Excel has been LibreOffice Calc (or actual coding with CSV, Python or R).

So when I discovered Grist today, I was excited. A modern user interface, open source and formulas from Python instead of Excel's formulas which always seem to do create some weird error.

I'm just sharing in the hope that others will like it as well.

Hmm looks pretty open core to me.

Personally I use OnlyOffice. Works nicely and they recently opened nearly all of their stuff that they kept for subscribers before, so it has become really nice for self hosting (but they also have a desktop and mobile app that works without the server back end).

I misread this as OpenOffice: OnlyOffice looks pretty neat!
