To show Coda in action, we gatheredlive on Friday, June 12 for a live demo session. There are lots of advanced features if you want them, but Coda also works well for vanilla documents. Here are seven things you’ll like about Coda, and one caveat. When I have multiple layers of text, I can collapse them into neat sections. When I insert a YouTube video, it plays right inside the doc.

Unlike GDocs, Coda allows me to embed multimedia and to collapse content, making things easier to read and more engaging. But when I want to create a complex doc with embedded media, multiple interactive sections, and/or something that will look good on a mobile device, I increasingly opt for Coda. I’ve used Google Docs nearly every day for years. Coda docs end up looking like well-designed Web pages that look especially good on mobile devices.

You can use it to make documents that are engaging and interactive. Coda is like Google Docs on steroids. It’s what GDocs may look like in several years.
