Side by side blocks and more

[Feedback_Entertainment]

Hello all. So I been with Notion for a few months and like the way I can design my pages with side by side information. Tables. Kanban galleries and more.

It’s make my overview much easier and fun to do.

Also having a hard time embedding. Widgets. Like weather or clock app.

Last. In notion one row is a full page on its own which is way better than the way you have it. I feel myself getting lost with the data and in the way u have it set. Not friendly.

Thanks.

Hi @Feedback_Entertainment.

Coming from Notion myself, I too am hoping for columns within the canvas and rows as pages. I’ve seen quite a few posts mentioning the same:

More Document beautification, please. Columns Would Be Great!...and I don't mean table columns

I was thinking that I could be able to do a lot more with my document if I could add columns to the actual document text. Or more things around and create a sort of dashboard with the tables. Please add more customization when it comes to choosing colors too. I would love to choose custom colors on conditional formatting or in general. Also, the tables is very rigid…I like to see things in a list, but removing the table grid lines just isn’t enough to make me happy to look at the table. Would yo…

Column Layout for Coda

More than anything I would love it if I could have a dual column layout for coda. Where I could have one line of stuff (Text, bullet points, tables, Pictures etc. ) and then another line of stuff next to it. There is so much wasted horizontal space. I tried to do this with layouts but that requires creating a table first. And You can’t just put multiple types of data into the same cell. Ideally it would be nice If I could have only two cells next to each other, with let’s say, a bullet point. …

Manipulate Pages/Sections like Rows

I want to be able to manipulate pages as though they are rows Long story short: Let me make a column type called Page that is built out of the contents of a single Row, let me edit it with the flexibility of a regular Page, but the structure of Table Detail view, let me use thisPage to access columns in its row, and let it inherit its formats from the columns themselves. Rows are great because I can: Create new ones with buttons Update them with buttons Sort them with filters Format them with…

Table Rows as Pages

Please allow table rows to be pages (like Notion). This is the single feature keeping me from moving over to Coda.

Fingers crossed

I really hope this becomes a thing. I initially made my post in 2018 and it still isn’t a thing. I actually wonder if they even care about usability at this point, or are consumed by trying to “integrate” everything they can.

Dark mode isn’t even a thing. Which I find astonishing.

I agree having “side by side blocks” or ability to have two or even more columns on canvas, however you want to call this feature , would be extremely useful for lots of use cases. Hope Coda team provide some solution like that soon!
