Coda - It's a new day for docs

Coda is a new type of document that blends the flexibility of documents, the power of spreadsheets, and the utility of apps into a single new canvas.

My life would be so much easier if I did not need to toggle back and forth between text, data and pictures. So I hope this product is the stuff and have requested an invite. I have however tried several similar takes on "new docs plus spreadsheet" before. They were cool. The real challenge is that the docs need to be compatible and shareable with other systems. The reason - I might know I need a better tool, but my clients and co-workers are so busy they cannot see the value of switching. Good luck.

This is the best landing page ever. I am so on board with this non-Panic Coda. Gimme an invite, please!

@cleavatron hey, thanks! Learned a thing or two about CSS animations in the process.

Coda helps my team at Uber be more productive than any other tool we've used (Asana, Trello, etc.)

Pros:

Love how Coda allows my team and I to be much more productive

Cons:

Coda is constantly getting more sleek!

Nice! This looks like Airtable on steroids! Looking forward to give Coda a try.

@lehrjulian I do love AirTable though :-). Wish I could check out CODA. I have 4 teams I'm moving to ASANA. AirTable is a little too "table" focused. CODA sounds perfect but can't wait until ??? to get an invite.

Coda might finally be the product management tool I was looking for.

Even though I still need to set it up correctly, I can already tell that it will be useful for my team thanks to that complete on-boarding and the Gallery of templates!

Thanks for that nice tool guys.

Pros:

Amazing on-boarding, endless possibilities, thinking about using it instead of Quip / Trello

Cons:

Not accepting utf-8 characters. Cannot invite teammates that are not on Beta list :/

@shishirmehrotra It seems to me that Cmd + Z does not work on Coda. Is it just me?

I've been using Coda for quite some time. My QA team is constantly using it on daily basis to analyse constant changes in develop and creating test plans for regression cycles for RC builds. We've deprecated most of our Excel and Google spreadsheet documents. It's very powerful tool with lots of cool features. Card view and Gantt charts are very useful and well implemented.

Pros:

Quick templates gallery, fast loading, tons of cool features, very powerful for the small team (can replace Jira, Excel & Confluence)

Cons:

no charts and send shared url

Oh man, this looks like an amazing collaboration tool. I'm checking it out now and excited to learn / share it. Thank you @shishirmehrotra and team for making!

Nice, could you point out the difference with Notion? Dropbox paper?

This looks amazing!

While I haven't been exactly looking for a solution that Coda is trying to provide, I see this as a very effective tool in documentation. I definitely think this is a step up in project management tools, and it introduces the convenience factor that Google's family of products is lacking.

I've tried Notion as well but I find the table and formula approach that Coda has implemented to be much more flexible and useful. (That said, it's possible that they are trying to solve different problems.)

Pros:

It's everything you need inside one document! I can't wait for it to be available for all for collaborative workflows!

Cons:

Some layout issues, like when card view is used, they populate vertically. Very inconvenient especially when compared to Trello. (Specifics)
