[Coda Magic Daily] To Build or Not To Build in Coda


"Unveiling the Wonders of Coda, One Day at a Time"

MONDAY, OCT. 21, 2024


Happy Monday!

This weekend I started deep development in my new automation planning and implementation tool.

I'm actually looking at other low-code platforms than Coda to build the application--like Flutterflow, Bubble, etc.

But for now, I'm using Coda as my MVP.

And maybe I'll stick with Coda. I haven't decided yet.

As I'm thinking through the pros and cons of building/not-building in Coda, here's a big one:

Coda is familiar and comfortable, like my decade-old hoodie I'm wearing right now.

My wife HATES this hoodie, but it fits perfectly.

I know where it's got a hole.

I know how it's going to feel.

I know where the sleeves stop at my wrist.

Even though Flutterflow and Bubble can build amazing applications, they are NEW apps. New icons. New buttons. New interface. New authentication.

And so I'm not just battling adoption of a new framework, I'm also battling adoption of YAAS (Yet Another App Syndrome).

People are already skeptical of new software and apps.

Coda is a great MVP platform to test out new ideas without scaring people with new app icons.

So for now, I'm going to START in Coda and see if it has legs before I spend the time and effort on a completely new platform.

And if you want an early copy of my new automation template, I'm going to host a webinar Making 2025 Your 'Year of AI-tomation' where I'll be going over the template and help you build your 2025 automation plan.

To accommodate multiple time zones, I'll be hosting the webinar on a few different times based on feedback.

The waitlist is open now!

Can you hear that humming noise? That's your business AI-tomation in 2025!

See you tomorrow!
