I would like to make columns appear / disappear based on the width of the viewport.
When it's narrow, some column that are less important can quietly disappear...
Hey @wabiloo! Great question. Here's an example showing how we can use dynamically control column visibility.

See attached app JSON if you want to poke around with my setup! You can import this JSON file by clicking Create new (home page) > From JSON. Quick docs on exporting/importing apps here.
For your question specifically, how would you like to decide which columns get sacrificed when you run out of canvas space?
Thanks @victoria. I had actually figured it out. I used the "Show Column" fx function in the column details as another mechanism.
My idea was to have a sort of "rank" for the columns that indicate their importance/non-importance in the view, and automatically hide the lower ranks based on thresholds in the width of the canvas.
But then I realised this would provide bad UX, and decided against it. Scrolling left/right works well enough, so I can just push the low-rank columns to the right.
Awesome! This is definitely good feedback about how we render components with varying display sizes. Thank you for posting your thought process here
