It appears that goal names are truncated at 9 characters on this page. At larger screen widths, columns spread out, but goal names remain truncated. Could you switch to [dynamic truncation](https://codepen.io/narthur/pen/VwadwZN), and make the goal column take up available space instead of the other columns? Truncated goal names makes this interface harder to work with.
