Casdoor vs cheetahR: at a glance
What is Casdoor?
Casdoor is spending its release cadence moving auth checks from the client to the server
Casdoor is in a tight patch cadence: six tagged releases inside a week, most carrying a single commit. The substance is concentrated in identity enforcement rather than features - password rotation and MFA setup are now enforced server-side, admin updates to a user respect the column whitelist, sessions and tokens are revoked when a user is forbidden, and phone numbers are normalised before they are stored. The remainder is release plumbing and a PostgreSQL query fix.
What is cheetahR?
A canvas grid wrapper aiming at the row counts where R's HTML table widgets stop being usable.
cheetahR wraps the Cheetah Grid JavaScript library as an R htmlwidget, positioned by its authors as an alternative to reactable for large datasets. The Shiny surface is now substantial: proxy functions, numeric and date column formatters, sorting, search, column groups, inline and menu cell editors, and a get_grid_data() helper that returns live grid contents as a reactive data frame. The most recent release adds an autocomplete column that suggests values from a list while still accepting free text.

Casdoor is spending its release cadence moving auth checks from the client to the server
◆ Current state
Casdoor is in a tight patch cadence: six tagged releases inside a week, most carrying a single commit. The substance is concentrated in identity enforcement rather than features - password rotation and MFA setup are now enforced server-side, admin updates to a user respect the column whitelist, sessions and tokens are revoked when a user is forbidden, and phone numbers are normalised before they are stored. The remainder is release plumbing and a PostgreSQL query fix.
◆ Where it's heading
Read together, these commits describe one job: closing the gap between what the console enforces and what the backend enforces. Several of them move a check that previously lived in the UI into the server, which is the work of a project being deployed into environments that audit it. New authentication providers and integrations have thinned relative to this hardening pass.
◆ Prediction
The next releases most likely continue the same sweep - remaining endpoints where an admin or user request is trusted more than the server verifies - rather than adding a new identity provider.

0.0INFRA · APIS
A canvas grid wrapper aiming at the row counts where R's HTML table widgets stop being usable.
◆ Current state
cheetahR wraps the Cheetah Grid JavaScript library as an R htmlwidget, positioned by its authors as an alternative to reactable for large datasets. The Shiny surface is now substantial: proxy functions, numeric and date column formatters, sorting, search, column groups, inline and menu cell editors, and a get_grid_data() helper that returns live grid contents as a reactive data frame. The most recent release adds an autocomplete column that suggests values from a list while still accepting free text.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc moves from rendering to editing. Early releases added the read-side affordances a table needs, sorting, search and column grouping, while the last two have been about the grid as an input: proxy functions, cell editors, a typeahead column, and a way to read the edited state back into Shiny. The releases are sparse, roughly three in fourteen months, so this is steady rather than fast work, and the fix in 0.4.0 for renderCheetah() stacking duplicate grids suggests the Shiny integration is still being shaken out under real reactive use.
◆ Prediction
The editing thread points at more column action types and validation on committed values, since an autocomplete that accepts arbitrary text leaves the checking to the app. The performance claim that motivates the package is asserted rather than measured anywhere in these entries.
