My name is Joshua Gofman, I spent many years in Russia, Italy, Canada, the US, Japan and now South Africa. I speak Russian and English fluently. Japanese no longer

I have a 13 year old daughter who I adore. We love studying advanced math and English. I am now attempting to apply Coda to her busy life and her academic activities. My goals is to eventually scale what I develop in Coda for my daughter to her school, for school-wide implementation.

I am also an entrepreneur and have recently created a richly-visual menu app (eatappmenu.com), which I am hoping to introduce once the Covid restaurant lockdowns end.

I also design and build bespoke flats here in Cape Town and then rent them out on Airbnb. There is something beautiful about being about applying one’s hospitality skills as a boutique-hotel operator without requiring $25M to build a full scale 50 room boutique hotel.

My mind is highly active as ideas in the form of words, images and action items torment my brain, at times creating innumerable chaos in my head. I therefore need an effective system to organize all this mental activity. Coda has helped me achieve this. When I externalize the mental noise and give it structure across the Coda surface I reach a state of calm, and am able to move forward.

I hope the above gives you a sense of who I am. You asked and I answered
