Free yourself from endless meetings with async collaboration. Request reviews, create linked versions, assign tasks, and collaborate asynchronously. All in your doc editor.
Hey there Product Hunt,
Adam here, cofounder of Almanac, a documentation platform that's 10x faster than Google Docs to find, use, and improve knowledge you need at work every day. 🚀
We started Almanac because in our careers in tech, we were spending more time building and rebuilding the same systems and processes than doing actual work. While we were stuck with Confluence, our fellow engineers and designers had tools like GitHub and Figma that enabled them to build and collaborate all in one place.
We started Almanac to bring Github-like organization to documents for everyone else. 💥
How Almanac works:
- Discover mission-critical docs from our free layer of 500+ tools, templates, and guides created by the most talented people in tech. 🌎
- Copy and customize docs in your own workspaces, with version lineage and tight permissions to keep your docs structured and clean over time. 📝
- Collaborate on docs with your team, and publish them so others can build on your work! 📈
And we’re just getting started. Next up:
- Figma-esque real-time collaboration
- Merge request flows and changelogs a la Github
- Group-based sharing and newsfeeds
- Syncing and integrations
We hope Almanac can open up access to the knowledge you need to be your best self at work. 🙏Thanks again for helping us make Almanac something great—we look forward to hearing from you!
Warmly,
Adam & the Almanac Team

@adam_nathan1 Good luck Adam! Will try it out properly when I get a team together. Like the approach!

@adam_nathan1 This is incredible!! Would love to hear more about how y'all got started and how you're building out this knowledge base!

@adam_nathan1 Will it be customizable enough to do private knowledge base documents? KB is a tough space, but like the idea.
As an avid fan of collaborative products like Figma, Airtable, and Github, it’s SUPER COOL to see the same kind of tools launch for business knowledge and professional development.
Almanac is already loaded with hundreds of primo articles covering topics like product management, design, marketing, recruiting, and more. Their tools and templates make it easy to create, copy, and curate documents in your own workspace. 👨🍳👌
If you’re looking to up your game, there’s a ton of information already packed in here, and with today’s launch you can even contribute too. Click on over! 👉

I’ve observed a lot of founders and a lot of content operations. Almanac combines the best of both. Definitely check it out. Congrats to the team!
@camille_ricketts1 Thanks, Camille! We have been collaborating with some of the most talented people in the industry and are so honored to share their wisdom and incredible insights!
Almanac just makes it easier to be productive. It cuts down on all the time spent defining a way to tackle a problem, so I can actually just tackle it, and crush it.
I've always focused on Actionable process documentation and putting together templates for growth and other key activities for me and my clients.
Almanac does exactly that - at a much larger scale on a level that can impact our entire ecosystem. It provides a database of knowledge in a structure that makes it easy to consume and act on.
I'm proud and very excited to be part of this journey with Almanac. I've shared my growth experience on Almanac among various other experts helping build this amazing knowledge database.
I was so excited to hear about Almanac! Having joined an early-stage and been unsure where to start, I know that the ability to tap into a resource like this would have been amazing. There's a ton of great content already that can help organizations of all sizes to build, grow, scale, and improve. Thrilled to have had the chance to contribute and looking forward to seeing more from here!
@mike_kohn We love your guide to hiring a head of people—I actually used it myself the other day! Thanks for being such an amazing contributor. We hope to work with you more in the future. https://askalmanac.com/articles/...

The work put in to making top content consistently accessible is really brilliant and the resulting structure is exceptionally easy to use and learn from.
As software eats the world, the world needs an open playbook for digital businesses. Like Github for non-technical knowledge. Brilliant concept, good luck Almanac!
