Finally - a tool that enables EVERYONE to access key business information and templates. Now we can stop wasting time reinventing the wheels and start getting to the most important and high value work faster! Thanks Almanac Team!

@reini_chipman Thank you Reini!

Looks very slick! A little confused on the positioning - is this a public content site (more in Holloway style) or intended to replace Confluent or private wiki systems for internal teams?
Malinda Coler
@lnchoi Hi Ellen! Love this question. It's both. We're building a public knowledge base - imagine if every company's wiki was public and we could all pull the docs that we need and start customizing them for our own purposes? No one would ever have to start from scratch again. Anyone can access the content, and companies who license it as a Confluence replacement can seamlessly copy docs from the Almanac core into their own wiki.
Ellen Choi
@malinda_coler1 got it, thanks for the clarification. My confusion was from the PH landing page, the company homepage makes it more clear.
Malinda Coler
@lnchoi Glad to hear it.

I think this platform is very professional as it brings together a pool of subject matter experts to share their invaluable knowledge with proven examples, templates and tools.

Congrats to the Almanac team! I'm so glad something like this exists 🙌 It's impressive to see all of the top-tier content on the platform (500+ free tools already!!). Access to high-quality knowledge, all in one place, is a game-changer for anyone trying to level up at their job. Looking forward to seeing them continue to grow 🌳

@michaelbrooksjr Thank you Michael! We're excited to share the product, and the free tools! Now that we're launched, we're focused on improving our existing tools and adding new ones every day.
Adam Nathan
@michaelbrooksjr thanks for the kind words! We hope you enjoy the beautiful UX as well

I had the pleasure to work with the Almanac team a few months ago while they were building the platform. The team, along with the platform, is absolutely fantastic. They gathered experts for every important topic that companies struggle with to produce extremely valuable content. Well done, Almanac team!
Adam Nathan
@fheijdenrijk thanks so much for the kind words!
Malinda Coler
@fheijdenrijk Thank you, Frank! You have been a huge part of this. Everyone should read your article on how to create landing pages: https://askalmanac.com/articles/...

As a project manager I can't wait to get this set up across the company I am currently working with, as a way to get everyone on the same page! Great job Almanac 👍🏻
Adam Nathan
@gina_bartlett Thanks for the kind words—would love to hear how you're using Almanac in action!

This is such a beautiful platform! As an entrepreuenr, and coach to other enterpreneurs, I see the tremendous benefit this affords us. And beyond that, your contribution to democratizing access to education helps provide the social foundation for expanding the development of the Collaborative Commons and a Shared Economy. Your mission to ensure “no one is limited by knowledge in pursuit of their potential” is so crucial to the vitality of our society. Thank you for having the courage and determination to make this come to life!
Taylor Thompson
@jared_angaza Jared, thanks so much! We're thrilled to get this out there, and are really excited to build even more tools to help people learn by doing. Here's an example of what we want to do for every function: https://askalmanac.com/articles/...

Awesome work! Looks great 👍
Malinda Coler
@woodsnick Thank you!
Rajiv Ayyangar
Very cool way of getting over the cold-start problem of company wikis! I'm curious to see where this shared institutional knowledge takes you!
Malinda Coler
@rajiv_ayyangar Yes! That is one of the big reasons why I wanted to build it. I've launched 4 wikis in my career and will never have to do it from scratch again. Let me know if you have any documentation requests. We're reprioritizing our topics log later this week to include user feedback from the launch.
Taylor Thompson
@rajiv_ayyangar Thanks, Rajiv! That's exactly our vision for the product: we think about every time we have to build a process or document that hundreds of companies have done before (a product launch plan, how to launch on PH, how to do PR outreach to journalists, a checklist for technical SEO – all things our team has done in the past week!). Our goal is for everyone to be able to start from a great template, used in a relevant company, instead of a cold start.
Olivier Kamanda
Love this idea and the UX.
Adam Nathan
@olivier_kamanda Thanks Olivier! Hopefully it helps save some time for you and help you do work a little better. :)
