Sounds interesting, but are they not worried that the name is taken? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coda_(web_development_software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

Web editor and web spreadsheets aren't exactly the same field, but that seems close enough for a trademark collision.
- bengotow 9y agoYeah - in the macOS community Coda is a fairly well known text editor for web development. The team at Panic should definitely stand their ground on this one...
- teaneedz 9y agoYep. I use Panic's Coda on Mac and iOS platforms.
- mainetti 9y agoI wonder how creative people can be with naming. Coda vs Coda. An editor vs an editor. Three years in stealth and this name... Well, if they change the name in the future, probably it will be... Excel! The new Excel.
- Volt 9y agoThis is an interesting comment, since they consider the power of names as a selling point. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15543362 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15543362
- bluetwo 9y agoAnd to add that Panic, who makes the software Coda you link to, makes really awesome stuff and has a very loyal following.
