Hey, I just watched the webinar
https://community.coda.io/t/save-the-date-a-chat-with-coda-ceo-shishir/12879
on Youtube, and @shishir I believe asked for some feedback on this whole question and how the community might see it. I wanted to add my 2 cents as a big fan of Coda, evangelist, but most likely a consumer of these services, and not Maker earning income from them.
I wrote a bit about that in this post earlier:
And to expand, one thing that first comes to mind for me is to be very sure that the solution is such that the integrity of Coda is maintained with any initiative to “resell” docs or templates that are not officially “built by Coda.” My fascination with Coda is that I think it can actually do everything on my list of needs from a project/task management app, and just about all competitors fail in some way or another. But I’ve seen them often attempt to fill gaps with solutions like third party apps (Jira), integrated middleware at cost (Wrike), or mass amounts of integrations that replace a solution that could probably be built natively in the app.
I don’t really have an idea about how to go forward here, it’s challenging. But I agree wholeheartedly that there is a growing group of talented Makers that can really help non-technical types like myself accomplish amazing things with Coda. It would be great to figure out a way to make this happen while maintaining the utmost in quality standards we now expect of Coda, for a good reason! For sure I’d pay for such services, and I’m sure there is a mass market out there who would as well!
Cheers!
