855476501,MDU6SXNzdWU4NTU0NzY1MDE=,1298,improve table horizontal scroll experience,192568,open,0,,,4,2021-04-12T01:55:16Z,2022-08-30T21:11:49Z,,CONTRIBUTOR,,"Wide tables aren't a huge problem if you know to click and drag right. But it's not at all obvious to do that. (it also tends to blue-select any content as it's dragging.) Depending on column widths, public users might entirely miss all the columns to the right. 

There is a scrollbar at the bottom of the table, but I'm displaying ALL my records because it's the only way for datasette-vega to make accurate charts. So that bottom scrollbar is likely to be missed. I wonder if some sort of javascript-y mouseover to an arrow might help, similar to those seen in image carousels. Ah: here's a perfect example:

1. Visit http://google.com
2. Search for: animals endangered
3. Note the 'g-right-button' (in the code) that looks like a right-facing caret in a circle. 
4. Click on that and the carousel scrolls right (and 'g-left-button' appears on the left).

Might be tricky to do that on a table, rather than a one-row carousel, but it's worth experimenting with.

Another option is just to put the scrollbars at the top of the table, too. 

Meantime, I'm trying to build a button like the ""View/hide all columns on https://salaries.news.baltimoresun.com/salaries-be494cf/2019+Maryland+state+salaries
Might be nice to have that available by default, with settings in the metadata showing which are on by default.

(I saw some other closed issues related to horizontal scrolling, and admit I don't entirely understand them. For instance, the animated gif at https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/998#issuecomment-714117534 confuses me. )

845794436,MDU6SXNzdWU4NDU3OTQ0MzY=,1284,Feature or Documentation Request: Individual table as home page template,192568,open,0,,,4,2021-03-31T03:56:17Z,2021-11-04T03:15:01Z,,CONTRIBUTOR,,"It would be great to have a sample showing how to move a single database that has a single table, to the index page. I'm trying it now, and find there is a real depth of Datasette and Python understanding that's required to be successful. 

I've got all the basic jinja concepts down... variables, template control structures, template inheritance, template overrides, css, html, the --template-dir and --static arguments, etc. 

But copying the table.html file to index.html doesn't work. There are undocumented functions and filters... I can figure some of them out (yay, url_builder.py and utils/__init__.py!) but it's a slog better handled by a much stronger Python developer. 

One sample would make a world of difference. The ideal form of this documentation would be a diff between the default table.html and how that would look if essentially moved to index.html. The use case is for everyone who wants to create a public-facing website to explore a single table at the root directory. (Maybe a second bit of documentation for people who have a single database with multiple tables.)

(Hmm... might be cool to have a setting for that, where it happens automagically! If only one table, then home page is at the table level. if only one database, then home page is at the database level.... as an option.)

I suppose I could ignore this, and somehow do this in the DNS settings once I hook up Vercel to a domain name, maybe.. and remove the breadcrumbs in table.html... but for now, a documentation request in the form of a diff... for viewing a single table (or a single database) at the root.

(Actually, there's probably room for a whole expanded section on templates. Noticed some nice table metadata in one of the datasette examples, for instance...  Hmm... maybe a whole library of solutions in one place... maybe a documentation hackathon! If that's of interest, of course it's a separate issue. )
