Ask HN: What’s a reliable non-Twitter news source for web development?

Posted by rajnathani on Tuesday October 24, 2017 @05:25PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Besides HN, I’ve received most of my web dev news from following Addy Osmani on Twitter.

Addy is a really good source of web dev news as he posts (and retweets) a lot of relevant web dev content such as new JS features, new CSS properties, PWA, react, webpack, and more.

Since I plan to quit Twitter, due to reasons irrelevant to post here, I’m curious to see if there’s a reliable blog (to RSS) which posts about latest web dev content.

https://gitconnected.com is great for finding trending articles, participating in discussions, and meeting other developers.

Ponyfoo (https://ponyfoo.com/) is my go-to. I subscribe to their mailing list and I feel I get consistent, high quality news, even if a few days old.

https://frontendfront.com Is pretty good. As the name suggests, it’s mostly front-end stuff. They have a weekly email they send out too.

We also do https://frontendfoc.us/ which covers more of the browser technology side of things.

Twitter quit me, and I'm forever great full.

(But sorry, that doesn't answer the question.)

I can’t tell if there’s a play on words here that I’m missing or...

I got suspended from Twitter for an account that was using aggressive advertising, long story... But I no longer had a twitter account. It was a lot like when I quit smoking, after a day I was wow there is life after smoking and I feel better. That's the same feeling I have with twitter, facebook... etc. I was just encouraging you to quit twitter.
