Product Details

What is Coda?

Coda is a doc that brings words, data, and teams together. It starts with a blinking cursor on a blank page and can grow as big as a team's ambition. Coda comes with a set of building blocksーlike pages for infinite depth, tables that talk to each other, and buttons that take action inside or outside the docーwhich users can combine to make a doc as powerful as an app. The vendor says people have made Coda docs that do everything from launch products, to scale small businesses, to help them study for tests.

Coda Features

  • Supported: Pages: Every Coda doc starts with a page. And can grow into as many pages as desired, so users cannot outgrow the doc, no matter how big a team or idea.
  • Supported: Tables & Views: A table in Coda can be as simple as a list or as deep as a database. And it can have customizable, connected views, so everyone can work off the same data, in their own preferred way.
  • Supported: Controls: Controls—like buttons, select lists, and sliders—to make a doc feel more like an app for teams.
  • Supported: Packs: Packs connect Coda doc to apps in use—communication tools, coding tools, and design tools.
  • Supported: Formulas: Formulas can live anywhere in Codaーon the page or in a control or table. These are like the connective tissue between building blocks in Coda.
  • Supported: Automations: Automation is the building block that puts repetitive yet important tasks on autopilot.
  • Supported: Templates: Popular compositions of building blocks are offered as templates and made them available inside the doc.
  • Supported: Forms: Collect inputs and data and synthesize using Coda's building blocks to view and filter data

They connect the doc to the apps in use every day, so as to pull live data in or push updates out automatically.Screenshot of Drag-and-drop templates provide a quick-start shortcut to commonly used templates like Upvote/Downvote, To-Do List, and Team Sentiment Tracker.Screenshot of Slice, dice, and chop data using Views. A View is a mirror of data that can be tailored to unique needs, all while staying connected to the source.Screenshot of When accessing the doc from a mobile device, it should feel like an app. Doc pages become tabs, buttons become swipe actions and doc notifications become push notifications.Screenshot of The Doc Gallery contains docs self-published by the Coda community. These published docs have a webpage-like interface and have varying levels of interactivity like view, play or edit. Find and share tools, templates, tiny apps, interactive handbooks, and anything else that can be built in Coda.
