Hey @Micah_Lucero - just seen your reply here 
Yes, agreed on desktop app benefits.
good points!
Those and other are actually valid, but iām sure you will agree that there are many more important aspect that needs to be covered with more priority!
also, supporting win & mac applications would be a ābigā effort for coda, i mean, iād like to have one eh, but i would prioritize other aspects that are more valuable for clients 
Eg two way interfacesā¦
Granular permissionsā¦

use Edge, Chrome or any Chromium-based browser to create Destop App (Shortcut), some browser like Wavebox allow u to use tabstrip for that destop app windows, really similar to Destop app, but it doesnāt work offline

Iām LATE to this party, but Iām totally down with this crowd! 
Iād like to see a Coda desktop as well, but my needs are a bit above what the web app currently offers.
Iām heavy into multimedia (videos, photos, music production), and as I mentioned elsewhere here, I totally consider Coda to be a wonderful rapid application development platform!
Where normally Iād spend weeks to months developing a desktop application (e.g. WPF or MAUI when it matures), I find Iām able to get prototype functionality of what I need using Coda in a shorter days to weeks timeframe!
However what Iām missing is file management on the host operating system - I need to be able to manage the vast amount of photos and videos on my system - renaming, tagging, moving, and at times deleting unwanted dups etc.
Iāve been using programs like ACDSee Ultimate, Kyno (the best but deadware), and others, but most are geared more towards photo management and donāt support video as well.
I could easily design exactly what I need if Coda had access to the file system.
I never used, but remember the days of Filemaker Pro (before the web based version) and other RAD programs, where you could quickly develop your custom applications AND access the files on your system etc.
I see Coda as being the similar (and better!), sans the file system accessā¦
Bespoke web and desktop rapid application development using Coda would be a boon to small businesses and desktop users alike!
For Mac users, Iām actually finding the new macOS Sonoma feature of native web apps to work really well for Coda and is satiating my need for a desktop app from Coda. In some ways I prefer it, because you can turn individual Coda docs into apps, so it actually feels like youāve made an app.

Now Safari on macOS Sonoma supports to run Coda like an app as well. Works fine.

I still use Notion quite a bit because its a legit relational database with quite a traditional relationship structure - but the application build - presumably just Electron frameworkā¦? - my Notion experience has been its better just using it browser - unless connectivity is a problem - the actually app is serious memory hog - like maybe 30% more than browser tab - though that could be to do with tables. Some of my Coda docs are pretty memory obnoxious too tbh.
You can use this on a Mac to add a Coda app to your Mac Bar.
Good point. Like this.
+1 (I was gonna switch to Coda until I learned it doesnāt yet have a windows app). Will stick with Notion for now ā¦
