Great perspective @Guilherme_Salles. I agree that sometimes the simple solution (despite being less automated or 100% efficient) is the best solution. I used to create templates that had a bunch of bells and whistles, and just like you, realized that 90% of the features weren’t being used. Nonetheless, they were fun to build and helped me learn new formulas and workflows in Coda. These days, I try to have my templates do one thing and one thing well. My general takeaway is that similar to consumer apps, for example, people don’t care how much time you spent setting up the database or builing features to handle edge cases. All that matters is the UX and and that the app can solve one problem well. This could be jotting down a note, getting today’s weather, etc.
