Ask HN: What are the best daily/weekly newsletters?
What are some of the most valuable newsletters you subscribe to? I'm backing away from social media but will miss the range of links I discover there every day — mostly a mix of political news, contemporary poetry, and stories with quirky, historical angles. I subscribe to 1440 (www.join1440.com), Poem-a-day (https://poets.org/poem-a-day), and political historian Heather Cox Richardson's daily column "Letters from an American" (https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/) — all are excellent — but am interested to know what other folks are reading.
- petercooper 6y agoI wouldn't normally do this, but I'm calling it first commenter privilege? :-) For the past ten years, my full time job has been publishing weekly developer newsletters, now going out to nearly 500k subs a week. I won't link them all as it'll take too long, but things like https://javascriptweekly.com/ https://javascriptweekly.com/ and https://golangweekly.com/ https://golangweekly.com/ are our bread and butter. https://weekly.statuscode.com/ https://weekly.statuscode.com/ is our weekly overall programming world update. We have lots more, but generally if you Google "[technology of choice] newsletter" you will find interesting stuff from all sorts of people :-) To answer your question as to which newsletters I enjoy, I really like https://podnews.net/ https://podnews.net/ because I'm heavily into the podcasting ecosystem and he rounds it up really well each day.
- tommy15 6y agoI'm a big fan of Not Boring (https://notboring.substack.com/ https://notboring.substack.com/) and the way he mixes business strategy w/ pop culture + current events. Also like Media Operator (https://www.amediaoperator.com/ https://www.amediaoperator.com/) for his unique takes on business models and products. Substack's discover page is also a good place to discover free and paid newsletters (https://substack.com/discover https://substack.com/discover)
- petercooper 6y agoFor some reason your comment was flagged and made dead by HN. I imagine because your account is new and your first comment includes a lot of links? Either way, I 'vouched' for it so it's back for now unless someone manually flags it.
- anarbadalov 6y agobrilliant, thank you! didn't even think to look for a substack discovery page. i'm both overwhelmed and excited. will be digging into all of these soon.
