I really liked Coda, so I switched from Notion and Airtable. However, now it feels like development and bug fixing have slowed down. Tech support has started to operate with standard replies, new bugs appeared where everything worked fine, old problems are still not fixed, updates have become less frequent.
Is something going on with Coda or is it just me?

There has been some major new developments recently - the partnership with Snowflake led to both the Snowflake Pack as well as Coda Brain. The Grid feature which was a major request was recently released, and I am beta testing another feature that was frequently requested.
Synv pages (view only) was recently released, as an interim release on the way to editable sync pages. As Coda becomes larger, adding new features will take longer.
Yes, there are some frustrating misses like internationalisation (date, currency) etc.
But I donât think that there has been stagnation so much as simply the fact that newer features are bigger in scope and development time.
I havenât really seen an increase in bugs.

I know if there is a specific feature that is vital to our own workflows, how hard it can feel to not have access to it.
Broadly though, I would agree with what @Piet_Strydom has shared here. I use several different tools (both established ones and ones like Coda), and honestly, Coda has one of the best feature shipping velocities I have seen.
I think some things can be buggyâŚand in my experience the team is responsive when you share a reproducible bug.
The lesson I have learnt â in hard ways â is to make sure I stick to âshippedâ formulas and features, as opposed to hidden ones as much as possible. Same goes for packs, the fewer, more native functionalities I use, the less trouble I run into 
Hope this help,

They fix bugs for a very long time. And you canât find out whether they fixed them or not. Bug reports are closed with the mark âresolvedâ, despite the fact that nothing was fixed.

Take Notion, for exampleâthings are even worse there. Of course, this doesnât excuse the inconvenience it causes you. But what annoys me most about Notion is that the company has been leaving certain bugs unfixed and rolling out half-baked updates for years.
