🚀 One Month In: Cerious Widgets Hits 500+ Downloads!

It’s been just over a month since I released Cerious Grid, a fully-featured, lightweight Angular data grid built for serious applications. I wanted to take a moment to share some reflections and highlight the updates that have landed since launch.

📈 500+ Downloads and Growing

Cerious Widgets has crossed 511 downloads in its first month on npm! 🚀
Most of those came in spikes following version releases — which tells me developers are watching, trying it out, and updating quickly. That’s a strong signal (no pun intended 😉), and I’m grateful for the early support.

🔧 What’s New Since Launch

Since the initial release, I’ve focused on improving extensibility and modern Angular compatibility. Here’s what’s new:

🧩 Plugin Configuration Options

Plugins can now receive custom configuration when registered, making the grid’s plugin system much more flexible.

This opens the door for more advanced and reusable plugin patterns.

🧍 Standalone Component Support

GridComponent now works seamlessly in standalone Angular apps, no NgModule required.

🧠 Angular Signals Integration

Angular Signals are now integrated into core reactive logic, giving you fine-grained control and performance improvements when working with reactive state.

🧪 Try It Live

💬 What Should I Build Next?

This grid is built to grow — and your input helps shape it.
What features would you like to see next?
• More built-in plugins?
• Advanced filtering?
• Virtual scroll optimizations?
• Tree/grid hybrid mode?

Drop your thoughts in the comments below or open a discussion on GitHub — I’d love to hear what you need in a serious Angular grid!
