What do you check daily to stay up to date with startup culture? I'll start:

In the comments it would be cool if you guys could add what you read every day or some rss feeds you have set up: it could be news, video, forums, etc. Here are some of the websites or forums that I read every day:
indiehackers.com
news.ycombinator
ycombinator Show HN
product hunt

    My sources are:

    • Hacker News
    • Twitter (by following the "right" people)
    • Indie Hackers (to some extent)

      For Twitter, I added people from Patrick Collison's people section to start: https://patrickcollison.com/people
      I then looked at who they liked or re-tweeted

      Edit: would somebody be down to create an ultimate twitter list?

      1. 1

        I don't think a sole "ultimate" can happen, just because people differ in tastes. One person's great Twitterer might not quite hit the spot for another.

    I also use Product Hunt and Indie Hacker on a daily basis,
    and I would add :

    There are really interesting case studies.

      Marketing Examples is a great one!

      I noticed in one of your talks about luck you mentioned subreddits, do you not check them as often anymore, and if so--for what reason? To me the content quality has been diluted for some reason on Reddit.

      1. 2

        I never checked any of them religiously tbh.

    P.S. sorry for the product plug but I really just use PipFeed now.

    May i ask why you spend so much time reading instead of doing? I catch myself lurking on indiehackers around an hour or two a day, but i feel it's very counterproductive. You mentioned reddit where i spent the last two years lurking on the several subreddits learning nothing and wasting time. Just my two cents.

      The founder of Indie Hackers (I believe) created this platform after reading about Pieter Level's journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18qLauintVM

      A lot of people get inspired or get infectious energy bouncing inspiration, feedback, and iteration ideas off of each other. If you are having problems dividing your day up, maybe you should self-prescribe your own advice.
