Please note, as of March, 2022:

It looks like Chrome 99 is causing problems for some users across different web apps that use IndexedDB. Basically this involved a corruption of user's Chrome profiles possibly as a result of the Chrome 99 upgrade. If you're techy or need the details the 2 related bugs can be seen here Chromium bug A, bug B, Fix.

The bug with Chromium has now been fixed, but if you're still experiencing this issue then you'll need to refresh things on your end.

Here are our directions for this:

  1. Please go to chrome://settings/clearBrowserData, then have "Cookies and other site data" enabled, then click Clear data?

  2. If that doesn't work, try clicking sign-out at the bottom of that same dialog at chrome://settings/clearBrowserData (This is for Chrome not Coda).

  3. And lastly if all else fails, you'll need to either uninstall and reinstall Chrome or remove / re-add your profile https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824.
