Super

For having built a whole set of templates over the years, 95% of the time, people think they want templates, when what they really need is exactly this, real life examples, with an inspiration on how to apply it. Brilliant, great move @bbalfour!

@christophepas Exactly! So much of my best work has been done because I've had a real life examples to leverage as ingredients. Unfortunately a blank templated doesn't provide that.

Amazing tool. There is so many templates and sources of inspiration over there. So much I would appreciate a bit more curation (or help in discovery ;)

@livmkk Thanks! This is something I'm thinking a lot about. I am hopeful to kick off a private beta of a new feature to do something like this in the coming months. Send me an email (first name at reforge) and I can add you to it if you're interested.

Thanks for the feedback @livmkk and we hear you! There's a lot on our roadmap to help make the rapidly growing collection of artifacts easier to use and to browse. One of those "good" problems for our team now that there are so many!

Congrats @bbalfour @danwolch and team on the wider launch!! Artifacts is a game changer for operators in product growth, marketing and engineering. Such a comprehensive library of work to learn from, take inspiration from, and accelerate your own initiatives. Proud to have shared a bunch of artifacts on the platform and hope they prove useful to folks! https://www.reforge.com/profiles...

@bbalfour @plgeek Thank you Ben for being an early creator with us. These are two of my all time favorite artifacts: https://www.reforge.com/artifact... https://www.reforge.com/artifact...

Congratulations for the launch! The nature of the content (artifacts) is impressive. Obviously you can't reveal it, but I'm struggling to guess how you could convince people/companies to share some of their internal processes or templates with the details.

@julienergan It's not that hard. The majority of things we create in companies are not trade secrets. Any sensitive information is always scrubbed beforehand. The benefits of sharing what you've done and how you've done it massively outweigh any costs. It's basically a different form of a blog post or conference presentation.

@bbalfour, thanks for your answer. I now have a better understanding of the loss-benefit ratio for a company. The way you articulated it, I can see the benefits for companies. I'm wondering, since it's a new way of sharing/promoting content, was convincing the first people/contacts to share content with you the most challenging part?

@julienergan Certainly and it will require continual work. Some people don't know this but TikTok spent many millions bootstrapping their initial creators. Most products like this need to provide a lot of activation energy to get the whole thing going. We started with our closest network and are continually working our way out.

@bbalfour that’s so interesting. Had no idea about TikTok, thanks for sharing that example. I can’t imagine how much energy (on a personal level) this initial phase requires. Hats off only for that. I feel that your artifacts library will be particularly valuable to the rest of the world outside Silicon Valley.

Starting from scratch is something that I often really struggle with, so I'm very excited to try these out!

@jack__lancaster Just having something to mimic as a starting point can be a huge accelerator. I hope Artifacts helps.

When I started out in Product Management, I used a lot of frameworks without understanding the context behind them. This led to force-fitting frameworks more than getting the job done. Artifacts show you how work gets done by operators in Orgs big and small and for different contexts. My aha moment was when I saw a (real)Onboarding experiment from Ngrock with comments from the author on the thought process behind certain parts of the experiment. Honestly, I can't wait to see more operators around the world showing off their work. Congrats on the launch!

@ussumant Nice! For those interested, there are a few user onboarding related artifacts: https://www.reforge.com/artifact... "This led to force-fitting frameworks more than getting the job done." Yeah, I get it. I often tell people frameworks are a tool. Like a hammer or saw. But ideally you combine the tool with raw ingredients (wood/nails) and examples of what you are trying to build. I think of Artifacts like the real nitty gritty examples. Not the instagramified versions of them. You put those together with the frameworks and raw ingredients from your own customer feedback, product, etc and you get the best outcome.

I've been part of the private beta and have been using Reforge Artifacts for the past few weeks. I found it is a place of hidden gem. One product recommendations perhaps for @danwolch. I found the CRM email is extremely helpful for me to discover content and land in Artifacts. This email feels a bit overwhelming currently. I wonder if Reforge can surface bit-sized content that based on my previous viewing history and save behavior?

Review Reforge Artifacts?

Reviewers describe Reforge Artifacts as a practical learning resource that turns product theory into usable examples and templates for daily work. Several say the real-world artifacts help them implement ideas faster and show how strong teams actually operate, making the content feel more concrete than traditional learning materials. Feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with one user calling discovery a hidden gem, but there is a small usability note: the CRM email that drives people into Artifacts feels overwhelming and could be improved with more personalized, bite-sized recommendations.
