Ask HN: What's the best approach for displaying data tables on mobile?

3•hilti•2h ago
I’m working on a web app with some fairly data-heavy tables (think product inventories, user lists, analytics dashboards, etc.) and the mobile experience is pretty rough. On desktop everything looks fine, but on phones it’s a mess. I’ve tried just letting tables scroll horizontally but it feels clunky. I’ve seen some apps convert tables to card-style layouts, others use expandable rows, and some just hide columns. What patterns have you found actually work well in production? Any libraries or examples you’d recommend checking out? Bonus points if you’ve done user testing on this and have data on what users actually prefer.

It depends on the data, but the best implemented some sort of column selector so that unnessesary data isn't even displayed

If you’re looking for reliable verified accounts, I’ve had a great experience with buyinstapva.com. They provide Google Voice, Instagram, and Gmail PVAs — all are active and secure for long-term use. Just message them directly from their website for fast delivery.

Even if you don’t use tailwind the tailwind UI page has some nice example options. It’s nice in that they’re all on a single page so can quickly compare what UX might work for your use case.
