This often presents several problems:

There isn’t enough room to display this data

  • There is enough room, but it’s all crammed in to a small space (Who needs white space, right?)
  • There is too much on the screen for the user to absorb
  • Etc.

We’ve all seen Accordions and the like that help display lists with lots of information nicely. What about if we could take that to the next level and use it in a grid, not just a horizontal or vertical execution.

Grid Accordion does just that :-)

Just thought I would throw a solution to a reasonably common problem out there.
