Make an informed decision quickly and gather feedback from the whole team. You can use this page to meet and discuss live, or seek feedback async to determine if a meeting is needed. Replace the example text—which is italicized—with your content, then prompt collaborators to give immediate feedback with reactions, leave their sentiment, and ask any questions.

Background

Use this section to give readers clear context.

Since Coda’s inception, we’ve debated whether the toolbar should be fixed or inline. More recently, the inline toolbar was one of the features that we scoped out of the original visual refresh project. Our guiding principle behind the visual refresh was to minimize Coda UI and make more space for the user content to shine. In the same vein, the top toolbar is a piece of UI that permanently takes up real estate on the screen, even though it is not actually used that often. More importantly, the toolbar makes Coda docs feel more cluttered and “work in progress” for viewers and contributors. For that reason, we believe that switching to the inline toolbar will make Coda docs feel more lightweight for simple cases and more presentable for sharing with others.

Proposal

Lay out your options for proceeding, and gauge your team’s immediate reactions.

Launch the inline toolbar in Q2. This will involve cross-functional efforts across Product, Design and Brand teams.

Should we delay the launch?

Option 1: Launch in Q2

Pros: launch will be part of holistic story with the other visual features scheduled for Q2.

Cons: less time to aggregate feedback from user research.

Option 2: Launch in Q3

Pros: launching in Q3 allows more user testing and time to review.

Cons: launch will be separate from the other visual features scheduled for Q2.

Feedback

To mitigate bias, have each contributor add their sentiments with the toggle off, then toggle on to show everyone’s reaction. Track and prioritize discussion topics as the whole team votes.
