Details
Superhuman Docs, called Coda until 8 July 2026, is documents with superpowers: think Notion but more programmable. Founded by Shishir Mehrotra (ex-YouTube VP) and Alex DeNeui. Used by Uber, Figma, Square, NYT. Better than Notion for complex workflows; worse for simple note-taking.
It is now part of Superhuman’s suite alongside Superhuman Mail, Grammarly and Go. Existing Coda docs moved over automatically, and prices did not change with the new name. The free plan includes collaborative docs, connected tables, forms and automations with a low quota. Pro costs $12 per Doc Maker per month billed annually ($15 monthly), and Business costs $33 ($40 monthly).
Linear is what happens when people who were frustrated with Jira build their own issue tracker. Every interaction is instant: no loading spinners, no waiting for pages. Keyboard shortcuts let you triage, assign, and move issues without touching the mouse.
For solo founders who also write code, the GitHub integration is the real selling point. Create a branch from a Linear issue, open a PR, and the issue moves automatically. It forces a clean workflow. The free tier covers individual use. If you are managing more than a sticky-note to-do list but less than a full Jira installation, Linear is the sweet spot.
