Here is the process we use to map the App Landscape in 4 steps:

  1. Research looking for Apps in a certain niche (eg. governance)
  2. Add them to the Database we’re building for each specific initiative and add new ones to the Tools Database
  3. Post a Twitter thread and ask the community to engage and add their favorites. "Here are 6 Apps in [niche]. Which ones are missing?" (framed in a way that's not the be-all, end-all list)
  4. DM relevant people asking them
  5. Ask in relevant Communities
  6. Revisit the replies, collect the apps shared by the community, and [step 2]

The output is an image with all the symbols of the apps of all the niches in collab tech and an up-to-date database of tools and apps.
