Hey guys, just wanted to add myself to this thread, sorry if this is considered over-proliferation.
And just to yet again illustrate how these links could look at the forum software Discourse will show off, here is my overly-long post mirroring what you are saying here - hopefully all this chatter will be useful to the Coda Product Team:
And @tomavatars I just started experimenting with Roam, a few thoughts on specifically what I like that could get into Coda (this is not duplicated from the other post!)
-
the use of the “/” and “#” really make creating and relating super quick when using the keyboard exclusively. Coda already has dynamite keyboard shortcuts, such as tabbing around rows and tables, selecting multiple items in a drop-down, etc. There’s some additional stuff that could result from this if you allowed, say, creation of a row and assignment to a table all with the keyboard, while in another row.
-
With Roam, I find myself really yearning for the depth of Coda - when I create a linked entity, I could just “feel” how this could look in Coda if I was creating a row with a little context, like a row for a meeting and quickly adding in a time for it. If you could add a row to a table in one operation - from another row - you could then pop open the window and complete fields that are in the destination table’s configuation
-
Really would like to put my heavy vote in for some kind of live diagram that would generate of Coda’s links, whether this be full on Mind-Mapping, or some sort of iteration of the existing Graph. I agree with @Jean_Pierre_Traets that seeing how Roam did this very simply right now is an interesting take on even a basic version we could see in Coda.
Hope that’s helpful!
