I’m new to coda, but I really liked the concepts (tables vs. cells, views, etc), so I tried it out over the weekend. I found the resulting usability quite good, especially around column formulas with autocomplete. But performance is a complete showstopper for me. I loaded up a medium-sized table of…

Indeed this has been discussed in a number of Topics here. Coda staff say they are aware and are working to improve performance. Remember it is still a beta right now, as advanced as it is. [image] Realistic number of rows in a table Tips and Hacks What is the number of…

Hey @Olivier thanks for your feedback and sorry about the slow response. We’re actively working on improving the performance of big docs and would love to take a look at your doc as we prioritize our fixes. Since your doc is in only 1200 rows and 3 columns, it’s probably some other issue since thin…

Hi Angad, I’ve shared the document as requested. I’ve given you edit permissions as I don’t intend to further work on it at this point.

Any chance you can share the document publicly, here on the thread?

Yeah, it’s the grouping. I don’t think there’s anything can be done to work around that problem. Hopefully, the devs can do something about that soon.

I’m also finding grouping to be very slow. Would appreciate any update from the devs on efforts to speed this up. One thing I noted is that when I press the button to add a new group, Coda is trying to create a new group based on its selection of a default grouping before it asks me which column I …

Would like to throw my vote to prioritizing performance. Right now, performance is my biggest pain point in Coda - it adds considerable friction to routine tasks and has made me seriously consider moving to regular spreadsheets (or Notion). This applies to Coda on every device, though it’s especiall…

@Samuel_Stowers would you explain how you’re using 100+ sections? I’m interested by this use case.

@Samuel_Stowers thanks for your post. Can you describe the type of data you have in this workspace, specifically the documents where you are waiting to load and edit rows in? For example # of rows and columns in the specific table you are editing, perhaps even the column types (are they lookups in o…

Well I loaded up a doc to 1000 rows but I hit my free user limits. Performance at this volume is acceptable on Chrome/Windows, but I’m not really able to get a sense yet on when/if it starts falling flat in my use cases. Would be great to hear from Coda on whether you can promise to support the vol…
