Responsive Multi Column Data Tables
Maggie Costello Wachs from Filament Group shares the best approach to responsive data tables I’ve seen yet. Remember the problem: exploring a large data table on small screen devices means a bunch of horizontal and vertical scrolling, which sucks.

Then to keep all the data accessible, providing a (dynamically created) dropdown of checkboxes to reveal the …
