How to Turn a Coda Page into a Presentation (Slide Mode)

Product Feedback

Hi Superhuman Community,

I just came across Notion’s new Slides feature (also called Notion Present Mode, Notion Presentations, or Notion Slide Deck), and I’m blown away by how seamlessly it transforms a Notion page into a presentation instantly using simple dividers. But what really got me excited is the Notion Slides Databases feature, which allows you to create dynamic, data-driven slides in a way I’ve never seen before.

This got me thinking: Coda is already a powerhouse for dynamic, interactive docs, so why not take it a step further with built-in presentation capabilities?

Why This Would Be a Game-Changer for Coda:

  1. Instant Presentations: Turn “any” Coda doc into a polished slide deck with minimal effort-perfect for meetings, pitches, or sharing updates.

  2. Dynamic Data Integration: Imagine pulling live data from your Coda tables directly into slides, so your presentations are always up-to-date.

  3. Collaborative Presenting: Real-time collaboration is Coda’s strength, why not extend that to presentations? Multiple people could contribute to or present from the same deck, live.

  4. Customization & Theming: Allow users to apply themes, templates, or branding to their slide decks, just like in Coda docs.

How It Could Work:

  • Use a simple toggle or command (e.g., /present or /slide) to switch a doc into “Presentation/Slide Mode.”

  • Let users define slide breaks with dividers, page breaks, or even table rows.

  • Enable interactive elements, like embedded buttons, filters, or live charts, to make presentations more engaging.

Use Cases:

  • Startups & Agencies: Quickly turn project docs or reports into client-ready presentations.

  • Education: Teachers and students could create interactive lessons or presentations directly from their notes.

  • Internal Meetings: No more exporting to PowerPoint, just present directly from Coda!

I’d love to hear your thoughts: Would you use a feature like this? How would you imagine it working in Coda? Let’s brainstorm and see if we can make this a reality!

Thank you, but your presentation mode essentially just offers a full-screen view with a page navigation button. Have you had a chance to review the Notion video for comparison?

The only difference I see is that in Notion dividers can be used to limit the contents of slides within a page. A bit more convenient, but in my opinion not a big deal to set up a page per slide.
