Hey all, this week I built a Coda messaging / chat tool to replace discourse/slack, with three cool features:

- category and topic view counts - where the open row button logs the view in a Topic View table  

- expanding threads - inside a modal, on a per-user basis  
 ![Chat thread expander](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/7/9/792cc6c68f6776fa200ec67d9adbad5511462163.gif)

- and the ability to ask your topic questions (like “who was the last person to say something nice about the lunch and learns?”)  

[Check out the YouTube demo](https://youtu.be/k0nZuSTMAOo) to see some of the formulas and details on the structure. Happy to answer any questions about how it’s put together!
