Would love to see more substance around this with future features. Would love to be able to hit a button, and pop up the comments box, or a mini-modal where an individual comment could be entered. It would be one of the mini-modals discussed here:
I have spoken with some of the Coda team about even a Column type “comment”, with some configurability, for example display the latest comment at the top. In this case, you could have a very useful Project Update View: Have a list of your Projects, and the most recent comment from each displaying right in the row in quick view. At a glance you could see multiple projects’ latest updates, very useful.
This is in fact a core feature of Asana that is a differentiator for them, and with simply implementing a comment column type, Coda would duplicate this, too!
