Hello everyone and welcome back to keep Productive to the YouTube channel today's feature
We're diving into what's new with coda now Coda for those who don't know is very similar to notion
It's a document application primarily that works in a way for teams to create these long form documents with
Interactive content in the sense is a project management application
But in a sense it's an interactive document that allows people to plan and organize content
you can do anything from weekly tasks and managing it to managing a team's goals and
Organizing absolutely anything there's a range of templates
It's been out for a little bit of time now in the public and maybe like three or four months at least
publicly released and in today's video we're diving into what's new with coda and talking a little bit about that in terms of features and
What we expect in the future. So without further ado guys, let's dive into today's video
So the first thing this what's new is code to have a new Android application this actually reached on May
2nd so early May they would lease the Android application which now allows you to use it both on iOS and Android
And they really put a lot of time and attention into this application
it works really smoothly and actually I was quite impressed because
They've actually added the ability to turn it almost into an app to some extend your own app
I'll show a few screenshots of how that's done
but it's pretty impressive and it's something that of course code will continue could get a
Continue develop on especially as the use cases are becoming more wild so next up and probably one of the biggest updates in
Since they've actually publicly released is templates inside of documents
So this is really simple
So obviously with coda you can use the template section
To steal a template that you might not want to create like a habit tracker or even a weekly task for you and your team
But this is a smart thing
so for example
let's say you create a document and maybe you're writing some content for you and your team or like a content marketing plan and then
You go. Okay. I want a Content sort of
You know timeline or calendar you can basically go and use the templates inside of the document so you can drag that in
Without necessarily having to damage or restart document
So that's a really useful experience and I can see this being used in many different ways
I actually think this would be really lovely inside of an application like notion
But of course coda did it and that's pretty impressive. So on that left hand side
They have a brand new look
So for those who sort of knew before it looked slightly sort of old-school
But now they've clean that sidebar up and exceptions
Section icons allowing you to add icons to this section side and also folders as well
So you're really neat sort of side angle. You can skip between different areas. It's very similar
I guess to the OneNote design in terms of going into different areas a
little bit different to the likes of notion in terms of like organization because you know,
You have a document and once you're inside the document got these different levels
But where is the notion you you're sort of organizing it very visually sort of across the page
So this actually is a good addition and I think it's really nice look for them just to mention there as well even
Evan Brooks actually did a good article and how they developed this
So please do check this out in the description below. So sort of like some general information about coda. They are now a
50-person team and that's changed a lot since last time I checked at least I believe they were like twenty last time I checked but
They've grown pretty rapidly which is good
It means that obviously development time and moss, you know
This is going to be more spent on that sort of development side of stuff. So that's really good news
They also have an update on pricing. So whilst they haven't released a new pricing model
They have stated there will always be a free version of coda and that when they do release a pricing version
They'll give everyone plenty of notice around to either upgrade or downgrade
Whatever their experience so they do plan on adding a pricing which is great news because I believe that's great for sustainability
So some of the things has also changed. Is that coda have added more templates available?
and they've upgraded a template section to be a lot easier to view so you can do and
Access templates that are useful for project management sales marketing HR and some of the examples are absolutely fantastic
from actual use cases in every day
I will see you mentioned the uber and Spotify ones but there are tons more and you can even use it in a personal manner
Thor habit tracking task management and even
Tracking your abs in terms of how the app workouts you've done. So obviously this applications got a new look
It's got more people in it. It's been notified on pricing
It's improved the mobile experience and it's added additions of templates inside of documents
So coda is definitely on the rise and definitely one to keep an eye on now
The one thing I say is coda saws far in advance of the lines of motion in automations
so if you're looking for a good way to automate your setup in terms be able to connect with existing applications or even
connecting with zapier zapier, whatever people say
Actually is a great application for that
So if you and your team already want some automation set up
Then this might be a little bit better for you than notion at the moment, but notion do plan to add automation
So we do have to keep an eye on both applications
