I mostly write articles about Programming and Machine Learning and thus I usually (have to) share data tables. Until recently, I haven’t come up with a better approach than just writing the tables in markdown format.

| First Name  | Last Name | Age |
| ----------- | --------- |-----|

In today’s article we are going to explore how to share interactive data tables on Medium articles (or even elsewhere).
