Since we are not getting any answers here I figured I'd share what Alex (the founder) told me per email. First he said he is running this as a side project per email, so they seem to just pick up the things they want to do based on how "he wants the product to be".

I asked him specifically for tables in the email and his answer was: "Currently we have no plans to do this. It's not something I really want in the product."

I think the website should be more transparent about this being a side project. The website has gotten 10x sexier over the last two years, but the product is moving very slowly. For instance, a fully fledged instance of Tetris can be played on the landing page. Why do I pay a subscription rather than a flat fee, if they are not investing their full efforts into development?

4 years past, why this basic demand is not prioritised?

this is the final garden

This is probably one of the last things I keep going back to Notion for

This is would be a very good addition

If not allowing the creation, at least read and format from pasted input.

Please!!!!!

Microsoft Loop also has a great example of table support!

For the love of god can we please get table support?!

Tables will help a lot! This is the feature keeping me from fully committing to the platform.
