Airtable grid view

We can remove the 'controls (‘Hide fields’ etc.). Users and filter, group, sort and search without changing the data.

Users can expand each platform name - I’ve given them a unique colour, but you can’t colour code the scores, or create a scale (0-100). Colour coding is a pro feature.

On mobile, the grid turns into cards for each entry (see below). You’ll see you have to scroll to see the furthest right columns - this is because of the length of the titles.

 Airtable card view

This shows each of the platforms as its own card. The user can click into each to see the additional details.

A single column version of this is what it display on mobile views of the Grid view (above).

Google Sheets view

For comparison, I’ve included a Google Sheets view. Sheets is more difficult to work with on the back end, but a little flexible and allows you to do things like scaling and other conditional formatting - see below.

 

HTML table

Again for comparison this is a basic HTML table.
