Doc-like surface for writing (notes, meeting minutes, etc.)
Coda starts as a doc, so you can write long-form memos, planning documents, or other text-based content, and store that alongside your data.
Task-tracking capabilities
Both monday.com and Coda have tables that allow you to store any type of data - task, project, resource, team, etc. Tasks or “pulses” in monday.com are automatically put into “parent” groups. You can define multiple level of groups in Coda. Coda’s tables also act more like databases allowing you to relate a table of tasks to tables of projects, teams, and people.
Sub-tasks
