Tables contributor week 2025 Brainstorming outcomes

[GVodyanov]

What do people use it for?

• HR
• Feature tracking and status
• Viewing and filtering data incoming from other applications after importing it as CSV files

Features requested (sorted by interest)

• 7 votes Add basic math operations and counting (like being able to sum or calculate averages on rows)
• 4 votes Decrease the amount of modals and dialogs in the app, requiring less clicks to get stuff done (for example, removing the modal needed to create a new row)
• 4 votes Add autosyncing with other apps in a user-friendly and discoverable way
• 3 votes Add an integration with collectives
• 2 votes Add Private Views, so views that you can create with the tables that are available to you and that aren't visible to other users
• 2 votes Add rule based conditional formatting for colors and other properties, similar to Google Sheets.
• 1 vote Add a full screen view and reduce padding around elements, making the app easier to use on small screens
• 1 vote Making deck a view of a table and vice versa (and in general have more integration of the apps into each other)
• Add a basic styling bar when editing rich text inline (maybe on hover?)

• Add data types for phone numbers and emails (with links to relevant apps like talk, contacts, and calendar)
• Make table settings easier to use (remove actions menu and inline)

• Improve right sidebar discoverability

Bugs Found

• Bad contrast in row titles and the "metadata" tag because of styling variable changes in the last release

• When editing rich text inline, some things are clipped (like when creating a heading the # icon). It also has a big black border it isn't supposed to have. enh: Polish inline editing fields #2095

• Sidebar duplicating: fix: Avoid duplicate navigation items #2094

• Dropdown in rich text editor clipped when creating a table

❤️ The integration with collectives. Hopefully people ask for something like this.

=> what i would like to see is when I am in collectives (so in a different team-id). With an embedded table, the view is filtered by the @team-id and not the @user-ID. This would bring some confidentiality and could help in doing some very clever things.
