That's a good article, thanks for sharing Kritika :)

I've also used this [css text overflow ellipsis](https://semicolon.dev/tutorial/css/text-overflow-ellipsis-doesnt-work) article to help add ellipsis in a table cell, apparently it doesn't work 100% exactly the same way in tables, grids, flex, etc.
