Sala
One profile per reader: what you saved, the themes you follow, the trails you did — private by default, public if you want.
- Phase 2 · opens after Cinco's 20th edition
- Continuous · the sixth item travels with Cinco
- Free. Optional public profile. Directory for companies in phase 3.
- 2027
The Archive is the same for everyone; Sala is your shelf inside it — and, if you open the door, your technical calling card.
- Readers who come back to the Archive and want to remember why they saved that entry.
- Professionals who would rather show what they read than list buzzwords.
- Companies that, instead of a job board, want to see who reads what they need.
- The reading wallet
- Saved entries, with your one-line note on each — your reason, not ours.
- Followed themes
- Pick themes and get, on Tuesday, the usual five plus a sixth item only yours: the best entry in the theme you have not read.
- The trails
- Progress per trail and a mark on completion. No gamification: a date, not a badge.
- The public profile (optional)
- An address genaibr.ai/@you with name, city, role, themes, completed trails and latest notes. Nothing beyond what you choose.
- The card
- Your wallet as one image for LinkedIn, in the same design as the entry cards.
- 1Sign in
No password: a magic link to the e-mail that already receives Cinco. The e-mail is the identity.
- 2Save
One button on every entry. Saving asks for a one-line note — optional, but it is what makes the wallet worth it.
- 3Follow
Themes and trails. That alone changes what arrives on Tuesday.
- 4Open (if you want)
Public profile is a switch. Off by default. Never appears in search unless you turn it on.

What a profile shows — and what it never shows
The rule: everything public was chosen item by item. There is no 'make everything public'.
- Shows
- Name, city, role, followed themes, completed trails with date, notes you marked as public.
- Never shows
- E-mail, what you opened, how long you read, saved entries without a public mark, employer (unless you write it).
- Address
- genaibr.ai/@handle — only exists if the switch is on.
- Leave
- Deleting the account deletes everything, immediately, no retention e-mail.
Sala is the Archive's personal side. Today the Archive is a public library without a card catalogue: anyone reads, nobody keeps. Sala gives each reader a shelf — what they saved, with their own note; the themes they follow; the trails they did — and, for those who want it, a door to the street: a public profile that shows reading, not adjectives.
It was designed backwards from social networks: private by default, no follower counts, no feed, no job posts. The only social effect is what you switch on item by item. And the only effect on Cinco is a sixth item, yours, chosen by the themes you follow.
It opens after the twentieth edition, when the Archive has enough entries for a shelf to be worth it. Until then, the prototype below is the vision — open to critique from now.
- Will there be job posts?
- No. A job board turns readers into CVs. In phase 3, companies can search public profiles by theme — and it is the reader who answers, if they want.
- Why not just use LinkedIn?
- LinkedIn shows what you say you know. Sala shows what you read, with dates. Different things.
- Can I export?
- Yes, always: JSON with everything that is yours.
