Feature request: Application builder
Use case (mostly): Client portal
Reference: Baserow
I’m thinking about coda’s missing piece. From the very beginning enjoying coda but still something missing until now. Mostly when i create a portal, checking coda’s whats new, God i hope it mentions about application builder. Then suddenly it showed up somewhere else, baserow made it, and i’m jelous 
is publish doc not powerful enough? or what could be improve?
Umm… it’s different, It’s almost “App like”, from what i see in baserow with ui components.
it’s publishing an app, different from doc publishing, tables are used by published app as data source. we can create login page (we create table for users). user only interact what we served on that app.
Please look at baserow if you have time, then you’ll find the differences. I believe coda can do this.
One of the most fundamental mistakes one can make when using Coda, is to expect it to work like another app, Coda, Excel, Monday.com, baserow or anything else. I mean this in the most supportive way possible: If you come to Coda, learn Coda.
You will find two things once you really gain experience in it - it is one of the best and most powerful tools at what it does, and also very different to anything else.

I really appreciate your comment.
But i think it’s not a mistake, its another feature. Never expect something like you mention.
I mean i’ve been in excel for decades, even notion for years. I found Coda more powerful indeed, i’m in coda for 2 or 3 years now and experiencing quite alot, at least for me, then i see something potential that coda can do in future, nothing’s wrong with that.
