Please add Grammarly support. I am the worst at spelling and grammar and Grammarly is my robot editor.
First ask was in 2018 (4 years ago to date). Really hoping to see this come through sooner vs later.
as long as Coda does not communicate on their road map in a more precise way, chances are that you re-post this question in 1 or 2 years
Iām in that camp as well. This is an important capability. However, I have a hunch the Codans are up to something far more sustainable and strategically in the platform camp, rather than simply another vendor integration.
To be very clear, I have no inside track - Iām just speculating, but this is likely how it will unfold.
-
For more than a year, itās probable that Codans have been toiling away on an API upgrade. There are numerous areas of the current API that have untenable voids; the big one - how to access the canvas content? From words, to sentences, to paragraphs, and whole sections. These are objects that are currently stranded on an island.
-
The Grammarly-like requirement necessitates real-time interaction; as you type, it needs to watch keystroke events unfold without any perceived hesitation. Coda, of course does have an event model because it can count words as we type. As such, we can easily surmise they have the underlying infrastructure for real-time interaction.
-
The current Pack architecture involves a synching process which has some latency; this is inadequate for real-time event handling, but I predict this will not be the case for much longer. Soon, there will probably be support for outbound webhooks that may also allow us to call Pack functions with a webhook formula. Imagine ā¦
thisDocument.newWordEvent.myPackFunction(...)Orā¦
thisDocument.highlightEvent.myPackFunction(...)
Once we see these three milestones unfold, the race will be on. Companies like Grammarly will have the infrastructure required to create a Pack capable of providing its own very clever experience. More importantly, Coda will have paved a very wide super-highway to support vastly more opportunities to make documents more intelligent and capable of assisting authors with real-time enhancements.
Lastly, this likely collection of underpinnings are also important for Coda apps to form tighter bonds that deliver on the promise of machine learning.
Just sayinā (and speculating)
ps - I also predict weāll soon see Pack studio capable of running Python code as well as javascript.

If this might help, I am not native speaker and using Grammarly on daily basis, as we are testing coda, finding out this issue might considering using notion.
Hey @BenLee ā I donāt seem to have basic spell check in my Coda docs. Is there a specific setting I am missing?
There isnāt a setting for this. Itās the basic browser spell check that we allow to work in docs, so it might depend on the browser youāre using. I use Chrome and Iām see it pop up.
If you got to Chrome settings, you can make sure itās toggle on there.
Aah, got it. Because I have the grammarly chrome extension, I never missed/noticed that it was turned off. Thank you!
The experience with Grammarly though is way betterā¦so would plus one the request to support that,

Wish this was more widely available. Glad Mac users have access to it 
Writing is a LOT easier with grammarly.
It is - Windows?
Yup, on Windows. I am using the chrome extension and using Coda in Chrome too,
