I definitely don't like the idea of "one place for all documentation". To me one of anything, if it's the only one, is too small.
What I think lacks in today's web is an easy way to passively "discover" the important stuff as it's being created / becoming relevant.
- icebraining 11y agoIsn't that what HN and similar link aggregations sites are for? You can usually get a view of what's coming up even before it officially releases.
- datashovel 11y agoI agree it's great as a general tool to stay up to date on generally interesting topics (ie. what the entire HN community finds most interesting / relevant). I'm thinking more along the lines of something catered specifically to what I find interesting / relevant. Sort of like a Twitter feed, but instead of following people / projects / newsgroups the ML algorithm caters my feed to highly relevant / personalized results. Because even when I'm following the most relevant people / projects / innovations today, I'm not necessarily learning about what will be the most relevant / interesting tomorrow. This would theoretically make it possible for me to (more or less) stay "in the loop" without even trying. The reason for something like this would be because there's no lack of information these days to consume. The problem is making most efficient use of our time where we're not digging for the most relevant information. Instead we're having it served to us so we can consume it passively without worrying that we're not able to "keep up" with the speed that things are happening around us.
