@Hector_Reyes1 it’s been several months since the roadmap call. Can the coda team please share an update? Are you all actively testing the proposed new features with users (alpha, beta, etc )?

In particular I’m interested in the comments around separating the data layer more clearly in docs and the ability to handle more rows / larger tables.

Hey Chris!

The team started working on both of those, and they have clear plans to move forward. However, it’s still a bit early for an open beta. I’ll let you know once we have one.

Thanks for the follow-up!
