Stacked List: The Best Way to Fit Tables on Mobile Screens

New UX pattern for mobile tables

You cannot shrink a wide desktop table to get it to fit on a mobile screen. Instead, you must rethink the table design and come up with a more space-efficient pattern. A stacked list is the best UX pattern for mobile tables because it saves users time and effort from excessive scrolling and confusion.
