Hey @tomavatars, agreed and glad to have you adding sentiment to the need for a more polished board view. I am actually on the fence with the ClickUp pack now as I move forward with Coda. Your experience sounds very similar to mine - many attempts to get fully onto Coda (as I discussed in the post referenced here), but can’t fully convert - site-wide button to add a task a big one on my list, too!
I have been observing the evolution of the Jira pack and Cross-Doc, and not sure something like this would work for integrating with ClickUp. I have been getting stuck with ClickUp on the limits of its hierarchy, something that Coda is able to overcome, although as with a lot of things right now in Coda, it is hard for me, a non-developer in charge of finding an app for my team, to set-up. What I’d like to see is more task management-centric features of Coda at this point, such as the aforementioned site-wide ability to add a row that would be strictly defined as a “task.” Or more easily configurable sub-rows, so you could set up hierarchies in a table naturally, such as subtasks. Also some of the graph/charting, for example the ability to manipulate dependencies in Gantt view. Another limitation I’m finding is problematic as I go forward is the fact that it’s hard to link multiple tables together, the default in Coda is to link two tables with the lookups, as powerful as they are. Most other apps that are strong in this area allow you to link any “task” with any other “task” as much as you want, which is in effect like being able to link rows in coda to any other row in an entire doc, not just a defined table, more easily. Not sure if there is some limitation in Coda preventing this, but having to set up manually relations with each table that you’d like to link with a certain row has been cumbersome for me.
I am finding that I think Coda can accomplish all the stuff on my wish list that none of the other apps on the market, ClickUp included, can handle, due to each and every other app out there forcing the user into some existing structure that has limits. But it remains overly difficult for me to set up Coda, so I continue to struggle with adopting it over ClickUp.
I hope that comment was useful, thanks guys!
