“At the end of the day, I’m here to serve our members. Coworks lets me do that without making me a software engineer.”

Inside Pursuit Coworking

When Cody Wanner stepped into the role of community manager, he brought more than just a member’s perspective—he brought a deep appreciation for tools that stay out of the way and let you focus on what matters. That’s exactly how he describes Coworks, the software that helps him run the space.

“To me, Coworks feels like the Apple ecosystem,” Cody explains. “It’s intuitive. It does what it says it’ll do. And it just works.”

That simplicity matters when you’re juggling everything from private office tours to making sure the cold brew tap is flowing. Cody doesn’t want to be buried in source code or hacking together fixes.

“I’m not diving into code. I’m checking a box, and the system behaves how I expect it to. That’s huge.”

Still, Cody’s a tinkerer at heart—he likes to optimize, experiment, and customize. So when something doesn’t quite match the member experience he’s trying to deliver, he notices. One small example? The automated email receipts that once opened with, “Hello, dear user.”

“It’s a small thing, but it doesn’t sound human,” he says. “So I reached out to support and asked, ‘Can we just change the language—or at least take out the greeting?’”

The answer wasn’t just yes or no. Instead, the Coworks support team listened. They logged the feedback, looked for workarounds, and added the request to the product roadmap.

“Even when I can’t make the change myself, I feel heard. That’s rare,” Cody says. “And I trust that the system won’t break just because I want to tweak something.”

That trust is important—especially when Cody’s wearing multiple hats. He doesn’t just manage Pursuit’s flagship space in Midtown Harrisburg; he’s also keeping tabs on two other locations. Knowing that the software is stable and user-friendly gives him the headspace to focus on the human side of coworking.

“At the end of the day, I’m here to serve our members,” he says. “Coworks lets me do that—without making me a software engineer.”
