Thanks for the honest and thorough answer! I really appreciate the opportunity to have a genuine discussion, even though I probably won’t be using that feature given its limitations.
And that brings us back to a broader topic: I get it that Coda wants to attract Notion users by making them feel more “at home” from a UI perspective. But I honestly believe that strategy could backfire if you don’t sort out more pressing issues first. Localization is indeed one of those issues. I’m really curious about what you mean by “And heard on localization
” because for the past few years a lot of people in this (amazing) community have been asking for better localization (myself included). And the only thing we got was a half-baked release for currency formatting without any follow-up to obvious shortcomings. And something seemingly as trivial as customizing the “Submit” button of a form is still nowhere to be found in 2025. And even Enterprise clients can’t get any support from Support outside of California office hours. Or servers in the EU (that one is soooo overdue). I know I sound harsh but I speak up because I love your product. I think it’s far superior to Notion, no questions asked. But if took me some time to realize that. It takes time to tame Coda and realize how awesome it is. By not fixing the “pressing issues”, you won’t allow many more people to come to the same conclusion. May be they’ll give Coda a go because they saw that shiny new feature that they know and love in Notion. But if they stumble upon one or more of the “pressing issues”, do you think they’ll speak up like I do? Nope: they won’t say a word, they’ll just go back to Notion, and they’ll never try out Coda ever again. That’s a lose / lose situation. And what’s even more a pity is that the (amazing) Coda Community has been VERY vocal about those “pressing issues” for YEARS. Localization. Cross-doc shortcomings. Lack of confirmation modal for deletion. Mobile app. Native Coda AI. You name it. Every single power user out there knows about them. So I urge you: if you hear why I - what we say, please make it happen ![]()
