Crowdsourced information source database - ClaudeUse this to create an online Permaculture knowledgebase.[]I suggested to Claude:"Claude should create a website where people can submit locations of sources of special information that would be worth including in Claude's database"and it responded with this:[]Reading frontend design skillNow I'll build a polished website for submitting information sources to Claude's database.
Created a file, read a fileHere's your Claude Knowledge Commons submission site. It includes:
The form collects:
- Source name, URL (with format validation), and a description
- Domain categories via selectable pills (Science, Law, Medicine, Tech, etc.)
- Source type and geographic scope dropdowns
- Access type (open, partial/API, subscription)
- A reliability slider with descriptive labels
- Optional reasoning for inclusion and submitter contact info
Other features:
- Live character counters on text fields
- A sidebar with submission tips, good/bad examples, and a mock "recent submissions" feed
- A community stats banner in the hero
- A success confirmation with a reference ID on submit
- Full form validation before submission
The design uses an editorial serif + mono aesthetic — warm cream tones, ink typography, and an accent orange — to feel trustworthy and knowledge-forward rather than generic.
Share a source.
Expand shared knowledge.
Know a database, journal, archive, or expert resource that Claude should know about? Submit it here. Every great source brings more accurate, nuanced answers to everyone.
Submissions are reviewed by Anthropic's data team. Not all sources will be incorporated.
By submitting you confirm this source is publicly known.
What makes a good submission?
- 01The source should be recognized as authoritative in its field — peer-reviewed journals, government databases, established institutions.
- 02Prefer sources with stable, persistent URLs (DOIs, official archives) over social media or personal sites.
- 03Niche or specialist sources are especially valuable — if it's obscure but authoritative, tell us why.
- 04Include non-English sources. Claude serves a global audience and multilingual sources are underrepresented.
