Embed beautiful tables into your stories. Say no to tables screenshots and make data beautiful again.

Why?

Creating suitable tables with right data takes time, so you want your outcome to look perfectly polished.

Presenting your data in the form of a screenshot?

Low quality takes away functionality, allure, and beauty.

Maybe Ascii table?

Complicated, hard to build and the result is not satisfying.

That’s not the point. Your data needs right tailoring and proper adjustments.

How?
