Provide visual feedback when adding a new row to the sorted/filtered Table View
When Grid View was sorted by some field, new rows jumped to some position right after addition and it was frustrating. Now rows stay put and you see a visual indicator that warns you about the future reshuffle. You can click it to update the Table.

A small but very useful (to me) fix! I love that the hover text of the warning gives you such specific info, too (sort position) and lets you click to resort immediately without a re-load. This kind of small polish makes Fibery seem more sophisticated and smooth, which is subtle but important!
Not being able to paste from a spreadsheet is a common snag for us and is supported by other tools like Airtable. This would be important for a standard view, but also when looking at an entity with a related collection that is presented as a list or a table view.
I noticed yesterday that if your table view shows multiple DB as rows, you cannot copy the value of field XY of DB1 into field XY of DB2.
Example:
Space for group A and Space for group B both have a Tasks DB which has the field âStatusâ.
You can have a table view of Tasks of both databases showing Task with state, and you can copy the Status âDoneâ from Task to another Task IF and only if you copy from Task of Group A into Tasks of Group A. As soon as in your paste cells there is one Task entity of the database of Group B, it doesnât work.
Interesting, Iâve used fibery quite a bit and my testing with this new view led me to believe it didnât work. The others we have in fibery were the ones that asked about it and they couldnât figure it out.
Since you suggested it does work, I played around with it a bit and was able to get it working, but it seems pretty rough around the edges.
If you click into the âNew â box then paste, it assumes everything you are pasting goes into that one row (airtable detects this and confirms what you are trying to do)
To make it work, you seem to have to select (focus) the âNew â box without clicking into it? Is that the expected way to use this feature?
When you paste, it seems to overwrite the record just above
With airtable it seems to have a more simple UX. You click into a box, you paste. It recognizes what you are doing and confirms that is what you want to do.
Additional Issues I Discovered:
Broken Undo Behavior:
The undo behavior of fibery is kind of unpredictable depending on the timing. Sometimes it works as expected and I event get the overwritten row back. Other times it will remove the overwritten row. Other times it will paste additional copies of the pasted items
Multi-Selection Right Click Delete Doesnât Work:
Airtable supports selecting multiple items, then right clicking on one to delete them all. Fibery doesnât support this and you lose your selection.
Limited/Odd Multi-Row Selection Behavior:
Fiberyâs multiple row selection when holding shift doesnât behave the way Iâd expect. Airtable does work as expected. With airtable you never lose any of your selection. With fibery, the behavior is different based on if you are clicking above or below existing selections.
Example:
20 rows, I have rows 10-15 selected by selecting 10 (checkbox), holding shift, then selecting 15.
Now, I want to go up and add rows 3-6.
I go up to row 3 and select it (still good, iâve only added to the total number of rows) (One thing to note here is that if I hold shift and select row 3 in fibery, it does the same thing as not holding shift. With airtable, if i hold shift and click row 3, it would add rows 3-9 to the rows selected)
Now, I hold shift and select row 6 and now I only have rows 3-6 selected
I noticed so many issues with row selection, I went ahead and did a comparison video for it as well because it is kind of hard to describe: fibery_row_selection.mov - Google Drive
I think for me it was I think a combination of it not being discoverable while also knowing this new view was in-work. So, I tried it just as it works in airtable and it didnât work and thought, oh well it must be something that needs to be re-implemented.
That said, see my videos I just shared. IMHO, this new view still needs a bit of core UX work. Hopefully someone on Fiberyâs side is doing basic UX testing like this comparing to competitors because yeah I didnât even get to testing behaviors with nested layouts.
