About ColPort

Named after the people who carried books.

A colporteur travelled from town to town with a pack of books, bringing reading to places that had no bookshop. We took the name because our work is the same in a newer form: we carry training to the people who have no time to come and get it.

What we make

How we work

  1. People approve what AI drafts

    In Mill, nothing is written until an author approves the outline, and nothing under review can be published.

  2. Every number has a source

    Each figure on this site comes from the product it describes, and we change the site when the product changes.

  3. We say what is not finished

    Beta features are labelled beta. Translations that have not been read by a native speaker are not called reviewed.

  4. Accessibility is tested in the build

    In the Commons game, contrast, tap targets, type size and a playthrough in every language are checked before each release.

  5. Some knowledge should be free

    Commons is free to play and needs no account.
