Hello again. I just watched the excellent Coda’s CRM , terrific work once again guys - kudos to the presenters @maria and @John_Scrugham . John I’ve watched your other YouTube videos on OKR’s, Recruiting, and the others with particular interest since my focus in Coda is team management, in particula…

[image] ABp: Airtable is very thin on team-friendly elements. For example, there is no “Rich Text” field type This is not entirely true. The rich-text support is in beta and I’ve been using it for about 90 days - flawless and quite useful. Although, it is not truly “rich” - rather, it’s an im…

[image] Johg_Ananda: security and sharing I’d like to understand this in more detail. Seems like they have the same permission structure as Google Drive or am I missing something?

[image] GJ_Roelofs: the company seems to point to the idea that it is either not in their interest, or it is technically not possible to use the Coda solution for one-stop-replacement of other tools. This is a very broad assertion that is deeply ambiguous. A one-stop-replacement of other tool…

[image] Bill_French: This is a very broad assertion that is deeply ambiguous. A one-stop-replacement of other tools is so vast and the requirements are so varied that I would fear engaging a team to attempt this or even allow it to. To avoid any ambiguity, most, if not all, of my comments can…

[image] GJ_Roelofs: then we wouldn’t be gettin 1k limits Let’s revisit this assertion because I cannot recall anytime this has happened with Coda and I have some client tables that exceed far more than 1,000 records. What is the original source of this claim?

[image] New API limit - 1,000 rows? Alternative services or workaround I’ve hooked up my Docs to several other services via zapier. I just got an error from Zapier saying that the API is limited to docs with 1,000 rows. Is anyone else seeing this? This limitation makes Co…

[image] Bill_French: As to the “single (small) team projects” observation, you may be right, but I doubt this is an intentional design limitation or chosen strategy. Rather, I would guess it’s more an inescapable aspect of the relative adolescence of the product. In the quest to compress time, s…

[image] GJ_Roelofs: However, given the recent posts on API & row content limits (i.e.: if a realistic number of ~50k rows on a simple table was feasible, then we wouldn’t be getting 1k limits - on certain API, and a number I have not personally run up against, but referenced in a newly created t…

@GJ_Roelofs , really great commentary in here. So I’m forced to ask - what else have you considered besides Coda? One alternative I was looking at is a new tool, Fibery. They have a great approach, loaded with potential, but very fledgling. I am essentially trying to replace most of the tools tha…

Wow, did this turn into a big topic! I’ve read and re-read this pretty carefully and wanted to address the concerns that have been brought up so far and I also want to thank everyone here for putting so much time into writing these posts and offering this feedback. There is a lot of great stuff in…

Why would you NOT try to manage all a Tech Start-Up's stuff in Coda?

I’ve also updated my initial comment to better outline that I personally have not run up against any hard-measurable limit. (Mostly soft throttling that I have not been able to pin down to specific hard limits, but which seem to be in the same order of magnitute (<1k rows) for automated operations)
