I mean for this comment to be constructive, but it is steeped in my personal opinions about the web and the rise of social networks within it, so I would like to emphasize that any apparent animus is not directed at your product, which seems nice and good intentioned. That said:
I personally wish that any forum for discussions about the web and related professional and/or creative work would be (wait for it) open and readable by the entire web. To me, the advent of walled-garden / login-gated content silos was a milestone in a long, degenerative process for the web overall. This forum seems to follow in that mold, preventing me from viewing any of the related content without first creating an account, signing some TOS or EULA and logging in. To be honest, this whole arrangement reminds me of ExpertsExchange, which some might recall from the days before StackOverflow was a thing.
I completely agree with the premise of this product, but I will always caution my colleagues to avoid closed forums like this.
[Edit] At the time of writing, there was no obvious way to view content in the site without logging in. OP has since shared a link below showing how to browse the content without logging in.
