Reading between the lines, looks like they were paid for the name?
> And then, incredibly, a new Coda arrived on the scene — a reimagined document at coda.io — and we reached an agreement to let them have the name.
And the email newsletter has a strong "last chance to buy" call to action so maybe there's a time limit on how much they can market around it?
Not saying this like it's a bad thing: a new name makes good strategic sense. If it also makes commercial sense because, so much the better.
Here's the new Coda name-holders: https://coda.io/ https://coda.io/
- doh 7y agoI've never heard of them before (coda.io). Seems like they raised a lot of money [0] and are generally competing in the space of airtable [1]. More surprising, coda.io is still free and has no pricing [2]. I get that they are in land grab, but I would be afraid to put my work on a platform that can come out anytime and charge essentially any sum of money.
