Multiple view modes for entry lists — Notion's signature feature:

Table View:

  • Spreadsheet-like with sortable/filterable columns
  • Columns: title, type, date, importance, tags, KB
  • Inline editing of metadata fields
  • Column resize and reorder
  • Board View:

  • Kanban-style board grouped by status, type, or custom field
  • Drag entries between columns
  • Good for tracking investigation status
  • Gallery View:

  • Card grid with preview snippet
  • Good for browsing research entries visually
  • Implementation:

  • View mode toggle on entry list page
  • View preferences saved per page/context
  • Reusable view components
  • Large effort but high impact for power users managing many entries.
