OrganizedFellow Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I used to be a long time user of Google Reader. Then sometime last year, I simply stopped using it. I stopped visiting the sites I relied on for so long for web dev and design news, tips/tricks, inspiration, etc.Now that Reader is dead, I decided to get back into RSS, so I downloaded/installed Tiny Tiny RSS.My question for you friends: what web design/development related blogs/feeds to you recommend?Of course I have some of the most popular ones:Noupe, CSS Tricks, Smashing Magazine. What else do you recommend? [Friend recommended Feedly, which I am really liking at the moment ] 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teppo Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Possibly just a slip, but.. you didn't mention A List Apart there? Other than that, http://www.zeldman.com/, http://davidwalsh.name and http://addyosmani.com/blog/ are quite entertaining... oh, and http://blog.ponyfoo.com/ of course! Too much good stuff to keep track of nowadays but that's what Twitter is for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeisa Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 As for the Google Reader replacement, I settled for https://feedbin.me/ and Press app for android. Both are paid, but that gives me some confidence they might be there for years to come (I also considered self hosting, but I was too lazy/busy to do that). CMS & General tect-related: http://gadgetopia.com/ CSS, standards: http://lea.verou.me/ The Web Tech/Biz Classic: http://37signals.com/svn/ Resources (this is where I found PW in 2011): http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/ I actually prefer to follow rare posting blogs that have real gems - I think that is what RSS is most suitable. I have never bothered with news sites, that have 5+ posts per day.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevacqua Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I use NewsBlur https://www.newsblur.com to track my RSS feeds, and it's been awesome ever since I moved away from The Old Reader, you have to pay a small yearly fee (currently $24/year), but it has a free alternative (up to 64 feeds) A great resource to find articles on javascript is http://www.echojs.com/, which is becoming more and more prominent, and is a HackerNews of sorts, but for the JS community. As far as individual blogs go, I'm a tremendously huge fan of http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/, by Jeff Atwood, a founder @ StackOverflow. For a full list of the feeds I follow (they're not that many, and they're all tech-related), visit this link: https://github.com/ponyfoo/linkdump/blob/master/rss-opml.xml 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much good stuff to keep track of nowadays but that's what Twitter is for. ha yes, it was just a slip. I really wanted to just start over with my feeds. I have added it to my new collection. AH, Twitter, I had/have an account. I just may have to start another thread and get re-started on "Who To Follow" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetuningspoon Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I know the topic isn't really RSS readers, but I just have to express my love for Feedly as well. I was disappointed in losing Google reader at first, but now I'm glad it's gone since it led me to discover Feedly I had always wanted to be able to categorize my feeds by topic. The mobile app is excellent as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrganizedFellow Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 http://sidebar.io/ is nice one word. FAWESOME! Don't forget us.. we run on ProcessWire too! http://www.cmscritic.com/feed I used to be such a CMS whore back in the day. I was always on the search for the bigger better badder CMS to manage my/client websites. For many years, I was happy with ExpressionEngine (I used pMachine for a while, too), but I left it when I discovered ProcessWire last year. I will be using ProcessWire for many years to come. The fact that you chose ProcessWire over all the others CMSs that you've encountered speaks volumes about its strengths and adaptability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beluga Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 If you would like to get Twitter via RSS, it is still possible with (free) services like these: http://www.rssitfor.me/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
