Knowledge Sharing

Share what you know, permanently.

Curated collections anyone can browse, no login required.

You've spent years accumulating knowledge. Sharing a list of URLs is the weakest way to transfer it. Backdrop lets you build rich, annotated collections of archived web content and share them as permanent, browsable resources — with your context attached.

Public collection URLs

Every published collection gets a clean, permanent URL. Share it anywhere.

No account required to view

Anyone can browse a public collection without creating an account.

Annotated context

Add editorial notes to each resource explaining its relevance and how to use it.

Permanent content

Archived content doesn't disappear. Your collection stays useful indefinitely.

Team collections

Create shared collections accessible to your entire team or organization.

Clean reading experience

Readable text extraction makes every resource pleasant to read, without ads or clutter.

How it works

1

Archive the resources you want to share

Any articles, guides, papers, or tools worth recommending to your audience.

2

Add your perspective

Annotate each resource with why it matters. Your curation is the value.

3

Organize into a named collection

Name it clearly. Add a description so viewers know what they're getting.

4

Publish and distribute

Make the collection public and share the URL — in your bio, newsletter, or on your site.

“I built a Backdrop collection of onboarding resources for new engineers and shared it on the first day of every hire. New people loved having a curated, always-current starting point.”
