Index

💡 Tip - We’ve added a feature we call Quick Search that allows you to add a search input on any table. This should make it easier for people interacting with your table to search through it without adding additional filters. The real pro tip is to add quick search on a table and then embed that block inside @Notion and voilà you’ve got yourself an easy way to query your data from inside Notion.

💡Tip - Keyboard shortcuts can help you bring any action you might want to take on Index closer to you. Press ⌘ + / to see a full list of shortcuts.

SQL + Visual Editor → One of our the first decision that we made when we started Index was to make our visual editor a first class citizen. This means it should be as intuitive and hopefully as powerful as writing SQL. This meant it took us longer to get the feeling of the product just right but we’re convinced it will be a better experience for you.

Pie charts (and donut charts!) can have pros and cons in data visualization. Crafting this chart type was particularly challenging because of how different pie charts are shape wise. We ended up choosing an approach that balances presenting relevant information (function) while scaling well regardless of the size of the pie chart (form).

🎨 Crafting our color picker has been a delightful challenge. We’ve experimented with our set of colors to make sure they look harmonious no matter the combination of colors, theme or visualization that you use. Incredible effort from Nick our team!

🏎️ Performance is at the core of what we want to build for you. It’s about seamless interactions <100ms for sure. However, it’s also about thoughtful handling of loading states, and robust handling of your queries

📊 Index Charts → We’ve built our charts from the ground up to be polished, fast and clear. More importantly, they can handle large amounts of data points with ease and scale to the right proportions regardless of the size of your block 🤌

Well hello there (:
