My goal is to explain how Fibery is different from Coda and what strengths and weaknesses it has. Coda is a powerful, but weird product.

I completely agree with the writer, if Coda Team realizes they can become better than Notion and go for that market, they will get huge. Right now seems they’re a great fit for excel people that want something nicer.
The product is super good, but there are 2 or 3 big features missing that make most people go for Notion. To mention a few (which the author mentioned and was surprised as me and others why Coda went this route):
- able to insert a page in a row, to have a free form description entity which is not coupled to the DB. The author even mocks a bit the “big cell” feature which is quite useless as a replacement for this.
- more flexible layouts in the page, like multiple columns.
I posted this like in 3 threads but so far nobody from Coda team gave any hint this will be available or not.
