Happy (self-hosted) Grist user for almost 1.5 years here !

Working for a government agency, self-hosting was an absolute must for my team and we're just loving the product so far — and have been contributing a lot to it in return (they are very serious about really playing the open-source game!)

What I love the most is that the way it's build makes it easy for anyone familiar with spreadsheets to get started while making virtually anything possible for a more technical person through custom widgets (basically a web app that integrates with any table and is displayed within Grist) and python formulas !


Damn, this might be exactly what I've been looking for recently. Excited to try it out!

The advanced sharing and permission features sound great. We've been using Nextcloud + OpenOffice for this and apart from being able to lock certain parts of the spreadsheet with a password, it doesn't have any of this.


Can confirm that we're self-hosting a couple instances with snapshots enabled (using Scaleway's S3 buckets)
