Customizable url to get to the doc/website

Hi, I really wanted to get a customizable url in order to get to the coda website, but I can’t figure out how to do it. Is it possible to register a domain name with coda? Or just get a url (like hello.world) that redirects to the actual coda website url (coda.io/@username/docname). I noticed some other coda websites had one but don’t know how to add it. Thanks!

Coda.io is not a Domain Name Registrar…so you’ll have to use a Registrar to register your domain. We use https://domains.google/ but you can use any Registrar you like or are already using for your own domains.

Then you’ll just be able to create a redirect from your custom domain to whatever Doc you want.

Please keep in mind, the redirect will do just that… Redirect. Once people click on your custom domain link, your Registrar will redirect the browser to your Doc. People viewing your Doc won’t stay at your custom domain. It’s just a “pretty” domain to share.

AFAIK, Coda doesn’t provide any CNAME aliasing to Docs or accounts.

Was there a time when you could do custom TLDs over published docs? I thought that was a thing.

Regardless, is this on the roadmap by any chance?

In search of an alternative solution: is there a way to do a doc embed so that it scales the page height based on the doc content, or some other potential solution for the smooth hosting of a coda doc on a custom TLD?

Thanks

Ideally something as easy as : https://super.so/, which is for Notion, is there a version of that for Coda?

I haven’t tried it but you can check here : https://cloak.ist

thanks! I messaged them some questions, would be great if this was a solution.

@Emil_T_Lamprecht , would be very interested to hear how cloak.ist responded

Hey! Louis, founder of Cloakist here. We’ve now managed to enable Coda + Cloakist. Here’s an example. You’ll see it lives at our domain. It’s possible to add custom CSS and JS on this:

It’s in beta, we’re still working through some compatibilities but would love for you to try it out.
