Clerk's first priority is as a programmer's assistant, so there are many things that work best in that context. For example, the table viewer expects that you will use sort and filter and such for those features. In order to provide a general case answer to GUI interactions with tabular data, we need to work out some things around embedding larger datasets in documents (which only goes so far, obviously), and for hosting datasets somewhere and then paging in results (this will definitely be part of what Garden offers).

You could pull this in using the clerk-utils custom template…

@U017QJZ9M7W thanks for the tip, I will give that a shot.

@U07SQTAEM thanks for the explanation. One way I'm using Clerk in my development workflow is to compile reports for other team members to review. In cases where we are dealing with large datasets, I can of course sort and filter in the source, but allowing readers to perform these actions as part of the review would be very helpful.

@UPWHQK562 of course, and we're working on it, but our general approach is to take our time and try to get the design right rather than rushing out short term solutions 🙂

@U017QJZ9M7W graphic-walker looks very cool. I'm definitely going to play with that, but it's a bit more than what I need at the moment. I'm going to look for a lighter alternative. Could you tell me how to identify JS libraries that I could use by leveraging clerk-utils? Is it just any React component? For now, I'd like to avoid anything that would require too much additional setup.

@U07SQTAEM thanks again. I appreciate the approach you're taking. Clerk is a pleasure to work with.
