Hi Hunters! 👋 First of all, I’m thrilled that the waitlist is over for Reforge Artifacts. You can use it for free. We spend too much time on work that reinvents the wheel. The less time we spend on that, the more time we can spend building new and unique things. Introducing Reforge Artifacts - real work from leading operators who have done the work. You can do a few things with Artifacts: 1. Find ready-to-use resources that are directly applicable to your work. 2. Gain valuable insights from experts who share the story, lessons, and nuances behind each artifact. 3. Save and collaborate on artifacts with my colleagues, accelerating our work together. 4. Customize and remix artifacts to suit my specific needs, saving time and effort. Here are some of my favorites:   Growth team strategy & vision at Patreon by Adam Fishman https://www.reforge.com/artifact... Brand Positioning Doc from Vimeo by Zoe Black https://www.reforge.com/artifact... Product Spec for Notifications Experiment at Duolingo by Jackson Shuttleworth https://www.reforge.com/artifact... Vision Roadmap at Coursera by Tom Willerer https://www.reforge.com/artifact... Growth Process Map at Snyk by Ben Williams https://www.reforge.com/artifact... The idea for Artifacts was inspired by personal behavior. I had other founders and growth leaders constantly reaching out to me for example experiments, strategy docs, job descriptions, you name it. When I shared the real thing vs some blank template, I could see the light bulb go off in others' heads. Since starting this project, I’ve leveraged a bunch of Artifacts from others and integrated them into Reforge. I hope it is helpful for others! You can sign up now on the Reforge website for free.

@bbalfour This is cool. Right when first time founders like me are looking for a structured approach to a lot of aspects of product lifecycle. Congrats on the launch! I would love to jump right into some of them.

This simply needs to exist. And the execution so far by the Reforge team is fantastic! Developers have GitHub, designers have Dribbble, but that leaves everyone else with no real platform to share their work. Artifacts allows the rest of us focused on product, growth, marketing and more to have a place to find and share our work product in the form of favorite tactics, frameworks, resources, etc. Really looking forward to seeing Artifacts grow and become an indispensable network.

Awesome work, ReforgeTeam! 🚀 Exciting to finally have a platform for non-devs to showcase their expertise. How do you plan to enhance user engagement? Keep the momentum going!

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.
