Info & Setup
Chat tools are hard to build - that’s the message here. This one took way longer than expected...
This chat tool just might become the backbone for your internal chat, a Slack or Discourse replacement that you can connect at will to your projects, policies, wiki - anything really!
BONUS FEATURE: query your topics with AI!
Chat includes lots of (maybe helpful?) ways to structure your comments, including Categories → Topics → Threads (parent comments) → and finally comments
Note: if you see an open button, like , use it instead of the standard open row button (it’s setting values in the backend)

How do I know what colour to use for our branding?
Thu, Jan 30
just guess!
or check the branding guide
the branding guide says red 22, which I thought was a dangerous food additive, but hey - pretty cool to live on edge of glory I suppose...
Wed, Jan 29
check out the branding guide...in our Coda wiki!

What are our Milestones for this project?
Mon, Jan 27
I think we’re forgetting about the planning stage? Are we seriously skipping straight to making the video?
yeah I think we can wing this one
to wing is to sing
hey this a great thing we’re doing here
no it’s not
yes it is
Client X is the best...just sayin

They give great feedback
can I give you some feedback?
yeah go for it
you’re the best
Can we align on the Costs?
Thu, Jan 30
I’ve got some time this afternoon - do we have anything drafted?
I have a base budget but it needs a lot of work - we’re still waiting for costs from IT on our insanely sprawling tech stack. Really wish there was some way we could condense that...
we should consider consolidating in Coda - huge budget saver! And we could join the Coda Guild to level up our building.
oh great point, Coda Guild helped The Founder move from Coda Curious to all-powerful tech lord, and the sense of community softened his tech-bro-ishness too

how does this appear - a reply in a thread that spans dates?
adding a new comment with a later date
Mon, Jan 27
did they talk about the impact on mental health?
yeah the study says people love 4DWW and are insanely happy after implementation
oh what a relief - I was worried people were going to become demotivated!
I’ll demotivate you
I’m not sure you understand
checking for test date
I love Imagine Canada
