Coda blends the flexibility of a document, the power of a spreadsheet, and the utility of applications into a single new canvas, enabling anyone to make a doc as powerful as an app. Coda is something entirely new, that looks and feels familiar. Makers start with a blank canvas and a familiar blinking cursor, but can use a new set of building blocks like tables that act like databases, or buttons that take action to create their own unique solutions.
Coda combines spreadsheet and database features into powerful, modern documents that can contain everything your team is working on in one place. Start out by writing ideas in a document as you would in any word processor or notes app, with rich text or Markdown formatting. Drag-and-drop paragraphs to reorder your outline and ideas. Then type `/` and add tables, embeds from other apps, buttons, automations, and more to your documents.
Tables are the most powerful part of Coda, as part spreadsheets, part databases. You can list items in a table and calculate values with spreadsheet formulas in dedicated columns. You can open individual rows as records. Or you can reference table data directly in your documents, to build self-updating reports. And you can add data to documents or run automations with buttons to turn your documents into custom in-house apps.
