Would you use 'Hacker News for books'?

Try to read a 'How to read a book', it's not easy one, but it explain what you just said.

Many people write in this thread about summaries, but in my opinion, the book is more than that. What I'm searching in a book, besides relaxing and other stuff, is ideas. I always find interesting that most boring part of the a book in

Exactly what I've felt. I have started a new project for tennis, and that keeps me going. Reading a book about topics that I need for project, exploring different ideas, etc. What I found most interesting is that reading a book opens u

That's a good idea. I've seen Obsidian, but I'm taking notes on notepad, just to be sure I write it with hand. It's so hard for me because I was typing more than writing, so I kinda forget to write :). But I like your ap

Self help are wrong terminology imo. I'm just listening (I order a physical book), a Dale Carnegie's 'How to win friends and influence people', and I think it's one of the best book I have read. It's full of ex

Yes. I like that. Blogs for inspiration, books for knowledge.

It's similar. I.e. psychology of users, building startups as I'm right now building one, so I want to learn as much as possible. Blogs are not bad, I personally just loose ambition to read it and absorb it like I do when I read th

Seems like a great idea for building a product :)

We all have this issue. I just turn off everything and get a book in my hands. I started reading some easy books like adventures or something like that. And then I just start searching for some psychology / psychology books, as I have

Yes! It seems that blog posts are 90% written for self promotion, or to express thoughts so we can save them somewhere for later.

I agree. I never said that online articles are shitty, I just can't force myself to read it properly.

by sasha_fishter 4y ago
Interesting idea. I usually have books on the shelf that can be easily reached. Also I read every day, and after a few months it is just a habit. I like the feeling when I focus only on the book. Even though I don't have distraction fr

by sasha_fishter 4y ago
I agree, but there is also a ton of shitty books, still I'am more eager to read the entire book, than for example 10 blog posts. It seems that blog posts are just to 'thin' and not providing too much value.

I don't read web articles anymore, but I read books

Great to see success stories from SaaS. Can you just share how did you attract first visitors, and subscribers when you first launched the web?
49.
by sasha_fishter 4y ago
Exactly that. Well written. We all share the same situation, the winner is, tough, the one who can overcome all this issues, or at least be better at them than others.

Spotify's backstage software looks like it's build without any design, just some UI framework. Different story is functionality, but it shows that in the end you have to solve the problem first. What do you think?

You don't have to have a great design in order to start(backstage.io)

We just had conversation about this in the company. I think it's a good way to give us the code that we know how to write but we waste some time to do that. I.e. I needed function that changes the index of the array, so I asked chatGPT

Might be, yes, funny thing is I didn't think of that when I was writing the comment, which is strange :)

Interesting fact is I noticed that not many book titles are repeating in this thread. This means there is no single book that can change your thinking, I think one have to find it on their own. Most of the time the best book for you is the

Simon Willson explanation is actually really good. Thank you for sharing this!

I've build tennis platform. It's maybe not so significant but it solves problem in the tennis clubs. It's used by cca 300 users per day, which I found pretty good without any marketing.

It depends, but yes it's the high possibility :) Hopefully we are wrong :)
