How to build a compelling vision when building from zero to one
summary
Builds Coda’s publishing platform Doc Gallery by recreating published pieces inside Coda, adding a cover photo subtitle and author byline, converting side navigation into a top site nav, and shipping a beautify feature plus search/filter interactivity so docs feel website‑like without code. Launch sequence ships publish in February then the gallery in April; outcome is concrete: tens of thousands of docs and millions of views, plus examples like Schoolhouse.world that start in a doc and turn into full products.
