This is an incredibly resourceful hack! You’re giving us a lot of ideas for the near future, especially as we’re focused on streamlining and making Coda simpler to use.
That said, Dan is spot on that this isn’t a realistic long-term solution. We’re constantly improving the way our underlying model works, which could break this extension without notice or cause poor user experience. Even worse it is very easy to break your document using these APIs incorrectly in ways that won’t always be obvious immediately. Our other concern is that issues generated by using this API have the potential to take up a lot of the teams time distracting from making the product better. Additionally this is unfortunately a violation of our terms of service.
This extension is a really cool experiment though, and if there are any functions of it that you’d fast-track if you had a magic wand, please let us know which and why.
The product team is listening, and are currently evaluating our streamline priorities for next quarter and beyond.
