:wave:t3:What’s good, Coda crew!

I’m an investor, partnership builder, and connector of people and their “why”.

As someone whose livelihood relies almost entirely on relationships, I’m leaning on Coda to act as a knowledge repository and database for my actions and my connections. The product still has a long way to go before it can meet my needs, but the team is on a fast track to change that.

One of the things I’d like to change about Coda is its hierarchy. A Drive-style organization for Coda would be ideal; within docs, I’d like to add more levels of folders. Each doc can act as its own repository for data so I believe the hierarchy should reflect that.

A recent hack I found was using Views to separate information that spanned dozens of columns. Instead of showing all columns in a single table, I hid columns from one table and kept them displayed in a view of that table. This hack allowed me to see all my information at a glance without having to scroll over.

Two technical questions:

  • Is there any way to conditionally format items using formulas in cells?

  • Has anyone found a hack to reference a cell location via URL and use it in a formula?

I’m happy to be a part of this adventure to change the world (of docs)!
