Bases: Transposed Table View

Use case or problem

At the moment, in the Bases Table View, each selected file is a row and the properties are columns.
It’d be great to have a view where rows and cols are switched so that each property is in a row and each file is in a column.

Check out the GUI for https://loophabits.org/ as an example.

It is possible to hack together a solution using css.

Here is what i created, it works for any base in a callout with Boat metadata (like [!note|Boat])

Row base.css (1.6 KB)

It is not perfect, and works for only one file.
For it to work, you need to set columnSize: as low as possible
(It can be done by manualy draggin the handels or just write it directly in a file)

It is suprisingly stable for what it is, it is still interactive,
but for it to work, first line needs to be rendered.

it is probably possible to do something so it works for more then one file, but i have no intereset in doing that.

Was created with mostly Gpt 5 so, go ahead and do that if you need.

It was, mostly designed as a hack to use until List View is releast properly.
