Using a docs style layout with fully customizable blocks means that users have the ability to create personalized workflows with Coda. Coda’s software allows you to blend spreadsheets and word processing with database storage functionality.
Think of it as a document with the potential to be as powerful as an app.
On Coda, you start with a simple document page that blends tables and text together, allowing you to build a fully customized workspace to manage your projects. Each workspace is organized in sections and folders. Sections are equivalent to a note or a doc, while folders store multiple sections inside them.
Sections are then further broken down into blocks, which can be edited to fit your needs. Coda supports text formatting and you can use blocks to create tables, cards, calendars, and more.
If you’re savvy with spreadsheets, you’ll be glad to know that you can use formulas in Coda as well.
Coda also supports integrations, which are called Packs. You can use Packs to connect your Coda document with your favorite apps, which allows you to automate workflows and pull data from other sources.
Starting a project from a blank slate can be a daunting task, and Coda attempts to make it easier for users by providing templates. However, Taskade has a wide range of templates that are fully customizable to help you get started according to your needs.
