I noticed I was spending more time building systems than using them. And my last perception of the new super tools came like a hammer: I spent a huge amount of time perfecting those systems, generating more and more data, but I didn’t use even half of all that information.

The pace of updates where slowing down while Notion was going faster. Like jotting a note in the phone is really important for a fast paced day life, but it’s a frustrating experience on Coda. No way of going back, right?Ĭoda never fixed the simplest things. Also, new features were being launched, but always looking kinda unfinished, made in a hurry.īut, while Notion was launching a new feature every month, Coda was launching new features every week. In the begging, I think Coda took around 30s to open what I wanted it to open. Nothing on a phone that takes more than 5 seconds to load is tolerated. This is a supertool that can do it all.īut somethings pissed me off. I built elaborate automated systems from a time tracker to replacing Toggl, a super CRM to replace Hubspot, a task manager to replace Todoist, a note taking inbox to replace OneNote and a complete dashboard of everything to replace Notion. By the end of the year I migrated my entire life from Notion to Coda.įrom start, I saw so much potencial. After a few years, in the begging of 2020 I decided to give Coda a shot. I saw Coda in it’s embrionary phase when it resumed to a simple “Word” page style, but with huge capabilities. Because of that, I was always searching for a substitute. Notion became my daily driver, although, at that time, the app was slow and the platform had even less features than it has today. When you understand that, to achieve good data records you need good database structure, everything changes. In 2017, the company I worked for, started to use Notion and, in a period where I was frustred with Todoist because it wasn’t anything else than a task manager, I decided to migrate to Notion and, oh boy, that was another world. Here are some tools I used before Coda to organize everything: I was always an avid user of productivity tools, jumping from one to other. So, to give a perspective, let me explain a bit how I get to Coda.
