Handsondatatable suggestion....

Haven't used it, but looks interesting.

Interesting indeed! Thanks for putting this on our radar, @seandavi.

See also: https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable. Handsontable is free and open source.

@FullyWashable, @DCGenomics, as noted in yesterday's demo, this application currently uses the DataTables library (http://www.datatables.net/, https://github.com/DataTables/DataTables). By default it supports reading, but not editing. Editing DataTables is possible with a paid plug-in, https://editor.datatables.net/.

Handsontable offers such table editing functionality out-of-the-box for free. Editing is an essential but currently unimplemented feature of our application. Given that, I will see what I can do over the next few days to prototype a new Metadata Categorization user interface with Handsontable.

This sounds like a good plan, thanks Eric!

If you are at all interested in using R/shiny, there are at least two implementations of handsontable integration with shiny. This might be a nice way to tie backend capabilities to the UI with little work. Shiny can be run as a server, or as a simple application on any system that supports R (everything).
