Gravity by Orbit

At Orbit, we chat with hundreds of community teams and see a lot of folks reinventing the wheel—solving the same problems and crafting similar approaches from scratch. When it comes to the practices employed by product community teams, a lot of it never gets shared. They live (and die) within individual groups, disconnected from each other. We wanted to do something to help those leading product communities by providing a means to share best practices.

That's why we're excited to announce Gravity. Gravity is a print and web magazine that explores the theories and practices of establishing and scaling product communities.

Each issue contains long-form articles, interviews with product community experts, beautiful illustrations, and other thoughtful content. Whether you're new to the community space, or you're a seasoned professional, Gravity will become your go-to resource for building and managing product communities of all sizes.

For our inaugural issue, we're tackling a tricky subject — analytics — and it includes insights from Jono Bacon, Adam DuVander, Amanda Petersen, Erik Israni, and Jenifer De Figueiredo. And of course, there's plenty of information and observations from the team here at Orbit, too.

Gravity is available in print and on the Web. Go read the first issue and let us know what you think. While you're at it, grab a (free!) physical copy for yourself too.
