Very well designed. Easy to quickly parse article titles to figure out which ones are relevant, and the articles are quick reads themselves with actual tactical advice. Great job!
Are you going to do anything to help ensure that the authorship of Almanac doesn't resemble Wikipedia's (predominantly white and male) so that it more accurately represents diverse viewpoints and isn't amplifying the voices of a few?
@_juliedkim Hi Julie, thank you so much for asking. I'm Malinda, Cofounder and Head of Contributors. This is really important to us, and you can hold me personally accountable for building a diverse community (please do, it takes a village). As you point out, there is a predominant voice in tech, and we could easily create another community of the same voices if we don't think about it. It's not enough to simply care anymore (it never was); *companies must proactively create systems that build towards diversity*, and must have someone in leadership driving the effort. At Almanac, we aggressively pursue channels to include diverse voices, even when it would be so much easier to rely on the more predominant culture. I'll reach out to you to speak more about our approach, but want to be very transparent because I take this seriously. I track stats and design processes to make sure we don't create another uniform network. I think about this everyday, and would love to learn from you or others. To speak directly to your concern, right now our network of Contributors is 49% female and 51% male; 63% white, and 36% white male.

The content is top-notch, which is attractive. From a pure feature/cost standpoint, I have questions.
The features (content pubs, public, searchable, voteable, rankable) are not different from Confluence. Yet $10/user/mo to have the priv. to publish on Almanac. It seems like a duplicate cost, for the right to give away docs & learning topics that are normally paid content for internal training.
Is it fair to say the value is more in professional-brand development for the contributors? (who would not otherwise monetize their efforts)
((sorry if this seems like an aggressive question for a public forum. I thought lots about taking the edge off, while still asking the question directly))

I love this. The detail of the content and the structure.

This is so sharp! Great case study of how we can create really valuable products when we see a very clear painpoint within a very specific segment. Thanks Almanac!

Login page doesn't have the ability to reset password. For whatever reason it says I registered (email confirmation), but I am unable to log in :(
@punknight sorry for the confusion, we have a Daniel Miller in our contributor network, just emailed you and you won't hear from us again.

Great effort and great resource.
The number refers to how many people included that resource in their company's "playbook"? If yes, can you include some more refined metrics than frequency? Ideally some that take the relationships between sources and people into account by making use of graph theory?
