😬 What was hard for you to discover in Coda?

  • @ references to other rows, especially useful in filters like thisRow = @otherRow. This is a pattern I use in every doc I build now, but for the longest time I never knew about it (and I likely never would have discovered it)
  • That publishing a doc in Edit mode is vastly different from sharing a doc in Edit mode. I think this would have been clearer if it were to be called ā€œProduct modeā€ or ā€œUser modeā€ to make it clear that the user could push buttons but not edit text (I know it’s in the tooltip, but my familiarity with the word ā€œEditā€ made me think that there was nothing new to learn)
  • Set as Display Column, I initially didn’t know that this also changed the value that the column resolves to. So changing the display column on my early docs would cause bugs this seems to have been fixed. Now you cannot implicitly coerce a row to its display value. Nice!
  • Character(10) for newlines
