Coda is a new doc that brings words, data, and teams together. It starts with a blinking cursor on a blank page and can grow as big as your team's ambition. Coda comes with a set of building blocksーlike pages for infinite depth, tables that talk to each other, and buttons that take action inside or outside your docーwhich anyone can combine to make a doc as powerful as an app. Coda is also compatible with various apps that can take your doc and team to the next level.
