Hey all,
Our next roundtable is Thursday, February 26 at 11am PT, and we’re excited to share what we’ve been building to make Coda work better wherever you work. We’ll be doing live demos and walkthroughs, with time for Q&A and feedback throughout. Your input on what workflows matter most and where you hit friction helps us prioritize what to build next.
Looking forward to seeing you there—RSVPs are live now!
Got invite an hour ago and already there’s a wait list? Guess Pacific Coast can’t sleep! 
Haha we will get you in, no worries!
@Ruggy_Joesten1 I see your comment. In fact, I was approved to attend shortly after registering.
But consider this: when I see there is a waitlist for an event that is only 2 hours old, it does NOT make me want to give you my email to join the waitlist. It makes me want to go about my day and save my future calendar time for something more valuable. My coda-post-traumatic-stress-disorder (c-PTSD) from the past 2 years makes this my immediate reaction

Whomever decided to limit the number of participants who can attend is being short-sighted. STOP reinforcing the culture of excluding your users. Ask any long-time Codan, there are Coda table building-blocks that allow for unlimited people to join a webinar and interact with a Coda doc where attendees can vote for the best questions and the best feedback to rise to the top of the coda table to be addressed by the presentor in the webinar. There should NEVER be a limit of who can attend a live, public webinar about the future of the Coda product.
If the purpose of the waitlist is so that a Codan can prevent bots from registering, that is fine. But that decision needs to be stated in the initial announcement post.

It is
time for Coda to start sharing.
I am soooo happy to see this as a topic. I’ve been waiting YEARS for mobile improvements for Coda. Some of my Coda docs are almost non-functional on mobile.
Yup, rarely ever bother when I see “wait list” and it’s pretty ridiculous to hit that when with an invite send one hour prior and at 7:47 in the morning no less (can’t imagine demand is that high:).
Hey @jeo,
Totally hear you and you make some very valid points. To clarify the thinking: we intentionally keep these sessions smaller so they can be actual conversations, not just presentations. It allows everyone to be seen, heard, and get their specific questions answered. The feedback we get in these formats is more detailed and actionable, which directly shapes what we build.
The lottery system helps us manage that while keeping it fair and open to the community. It also gives us a control lever to ensure it’s a safe space for us all to come together and have productive discussions. It’s not about exclusivity; it’s about making the time valuable for everyone who shows up.
That said, your point about sharing more broadly is a good one. We’ll make sure insights and key takeaways from these sessions get posted back to the community so everyone benefits, not just attendees.
Thanks for the direct feedback!
Looking forward to it. Is this one the one that was scheduled for today and got moved to Monday?

if people follow the protocol of the dory doc for asking and voting on questions, we can have a large audience but still keep it comfy
Would it be possible for people to watch but not comment?
Hey @Ruggy_Joesten1,
I really appreciate that the coda team is giving some much deserved love to the app, but it seems that something has broken during these efforts and despite multiple users reporting issues (here I collected a few → Formula not calculating on mobile app) there’s just radio silence from Coda.
