Some reflections
For years, I've prioritized maximizing Coda's built-in capabilities over pack development. I've found that packs, while useful, often introduce unnecessary complexity. My focus has been on mastering Coda's core functions – buttons, automations, and complex calculations – to deliver robust solutions.
However, client feedback highlighted a challenge: while they appreciated the results, they struggled to maintain the intricate logic. Holiday management, with its country-specific variations and dynamic rules (like 'the first Monday of the month'), became a prime example. Maintaining this manually proved unsustainable.
This led me to develop a holiday pack, and it prompted a reassessment of my stance on packs. While I still advocate for minimizing their use, I recognize their value in specific scenarios. You'll find a few packs I've created on this page.
A word of caution: not all packs are created equal. Some are invaluable, others less so. For instance, packs handling delta data can be resource-intensive.
Ultimately, my approach remains: prioritize Coda's native features. If a pack offers a genuinely necessary solution, then it's worth considering. To reflect this, my paid packs are priced at $0.99 – a symbolic barrier, encouraging thoughtful evaluation.
Explore the packs I've assembled, and let me know your thoughts on their usefulness to the Coda maker community.
