For what regards coda next features choices, i’m sure they are doing their best to balance what they have to do to keep coda founded (money moves everything faster, isn’t it?) and make their users happy
I’d just like to underline that not every update is born with a request from users, just to make the concept more clear, we see everyday some links to some topics of sometimes year before, where the idea is finally on coda, but extremely rarely we see the “hey community, we are working on this” (i think i’ve seen it like 10 times from Ben and Angad) but all the rest is built under the scene with a little user partecipation (some users more than others).
This i think is made to not make promises that cannot be kept, and it’s fair and it’s an understandable point, but i want to have transparency.
As today, i do not agree with the ones who says “uh coda is really caring about their users needs and wantings” because it’s clearly not like that.
As proof of this i’ve tried in the last 3 years to suggest multiple times modifications to coda (they were freaking cool believe me 
), but in every occasion where something more was asked than what was already available in coda, i have received NO answer.
Zero, like none.
I mean, for each beta i’ve partecipated, for each new feature request i’ve proposed, i received ZERO answer.
Now, to be 100% honest, i’m not an easy user, i always want more, i want to know more, to progress knowing where coda is going, ecc, so i’m sure that some codans in a certain time they could be like “oh no another message from this asshole”, i can accept this because as a dev too i understand that users can become pain in the a*s but in no way coda is open and transparent with their users.
Or, if they are listening to us they are doing it so quietly that i have the time to change approach to a problem before i get an update from coda.
This doesnt want to be an hate message, it’s just because i cannot deal with “uh coda is loving their users, every update is from us etc”.
This is my opinion, and it says that is more a “selling update made for company benefit like if they was designed from the ground up for users”
Lastly, off course they do not answer my e-mail if i shot s*it in their community right here
Let’s remember that coda is my everyday tool to do many many things, i seriously love it, but not for that reason i’d love every aspect of it.
To close, this is the thinking of a CODA LOVER, i love you guys but they way you love me back is strange
