I've had a pretty good experience with retool but its component library definitely needs more documentation, as a frontend developer I'm able to go through all those props and tinker a bit until I get something done, but it's time consuming and not intuitive at first glance.

An example of this is the Table components, which allows you to create columns and set them a specific type, but that component documentation page doesn't include a section about which column types are allowed and how they work. Even further, there's a column type called Tag that it's available for us to use, but we don't have documentation about it and Tag documentation isn't helpful either,

It wouldn't hurt to add some common examples like a storybook along some way to let us see how to configure the components like that, or json examples we can import into our projects.

Absolutely agree, and something we were discussing today as it happens on the docs crew. We have some ideas we'll try in the next few months to bring more docs directly into the product, and beef up coverage and examples in the component docs.
