Feeds I follow

Here is a list of feeds I follow. I mostly include personal blogs, products I care about, and general tech knowledge.

Blogs

  • Anil Dash (RSS) - CEO or founder of several famous startups, and board member of th EFF. He has interesting insights on modern tech and makes me question my knee-jerk reactions to some topics.
  • Apenwarr (RSS) - CEO of Tailscale. His piece "Tech Debt Metaphor Maximalism" profoundly resonated with my experience.
  • bnjbvr (RSS) - A friend and colleague's website, in French. He often shares interesting links related to sociology, free software, tech, and their impact on our lives.
  • Evan Boehs (RSS) - Interesting tech deep dives. I loved his stance on wearables like Garmin.
  • Daring Fireball (RSS) - John Grubber invented Markdown. This is his Apple enthusiast blog. Interesting for Apple related opinions, but I disagree heavily with his stance on regulation in Europe in particular.
  • Drew DeVault (RSS) - A very opinionated free software engineer. Into getting back to the fundamentals of tech (e.g. sending patches over email), but also respectful open source community management.
  • Half-Shot (RSS) - Colleague and hacker with insatiable curiosity. Always tinkers with something.
  • Hazel Weakly (RSS) - I've stumbled upon Hazel's posts when she talked about how they maintained Hachyderm infra. She posts about tech, but also its social and political impacts.
  • Jorge Castro (RSS) - Developer Advocate at the CNCF. Project lead for Universal Blue. Has pragmatic stances about how to make Linux work for SREs and devs.
  • Julia Evans (RSS) - Excellent educator, author of several zines that break down how tech things work.
  • Tadzik (RSS) - A former colleague. Cycling and minimal tech enthusiast.
  • Tonsky (RSS) - A designer and developer with refreshing takes on classic problems.
  • Smashing Frames (RSS) - Tante is a sociotechnologist, tech critic and luddite. He has interesting opinions about the negative impact of tech. Useful reads for self-introspection.
  • Tara Tarakiyee (RSS) - Tara is a technologist for the Sovereign Tech Agency. He is critical of Big Tech and brings an interesting perspective at the junction of technology and policy.

Products

  • Astro (RSS) - The simplest yet more powerful framework I've been given to test to build websites. My website uses it, I like to stay up to date on what they're working on.
  • Codeberg (RSS) - A public instance for Forgejo maintained by a nonprofit in Germany.
  • Forgejo (RSS) - A community maintained git forge that aims to federate project management beyond code.
  • Helix (RSS) - The text editor I have fallen in love with.
  • Kagi (RSS) - A paid search engine that focuses on results quality. The product seems good, although I'm cautious about their CEO's extreme centrism.
  • Obsidian (RSS) - A note taking app that can derail into an everything app. I love their 'files over app' approach, and their growth resistance. They are good people building respectful products.
  • Open Tofu (RSS) - The community fork of Terraform that become more interesting for self-hosters than the mother project. I use them to manage my infrastructure.
  • Servo (RSS) - Hopefully the future of browsers.
  • Signal (RSS) - The easiest to use E2EE messenger for the general public. A successful project with their heart in the right place.
  • Stalwart Labs (RSS) - Self-hosting email is a pain in the backside and I'm not ready to do it. But if I had to do it, Stalwart seems to be one of the sanest, modern projects to do it without too much hassle.
  • This Week In GNOME (RSS) - The one website to know what's happening in the GNOME ecosystem, whether it is in the community or within the Foundation. Maintained by my friend Felix Häcker, one of the kindest people I've been given to meet.
  • Thunderbird (RSS) - The most advanced and stable open source Email and Calendaring client, undergoing exciting in-depth changes with visible results.
