// EDITOR'S TAKE

AppFlowy comes closest to Coda's docs-plus-database model, with pages that embed views of structured data, though it has nothing like Coda's formula language or packs. apitable covers the spreadsheet-database half considerably better and can drive automations, so pairing it with Outline for the writing is often a more honest replacement than expecting one project to do both jobs.
