Grouped Record Layout Suggestions

When grouping records, another column is added to the UI. In tables with a lot of fields, this takes up valuable horizontal real estate. It would also be nice to have the option to collapse each group.

I don’t want to say you should blatantly rip off a competitor, but I really like how Airtable handles this. Borrowing some of this UI would greatly improve the experience when grouping records.
