Airtable’s Script Editor is great, but one flaw that’s bothered me for a long time is how much space the side panels take up, especially on small screens. There’s no way to collapse them, and no way to resize them. Soooo, I spent a few hours writing ...

Yikes, is this still true? I assumed when I saw this contest that this limitation when publishing bases had been removed—all of the most useful features I’ve developed so far with Interfaces depend in part on Automations…

Thanks! You’re right about the space issue, it’s not that bad if your working on a big widescreen monitor. I’ve been out of the office for the past few months though and using my laptop a lot more, and that’s where I’ve been feeling the lack of space...
