What design or product related newsletters do you subscribe to?
Update: Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. Put together this list of newsletters for designers, as well as developers:https://blog.zipboard.co/awesome-newsletters-for-web-developers-and-designers-f9c22f2a0989 Will update it with more of your suggestions. :)
None. Too much digital clutter.
Too much digital clutter
That's exactly how I feel. I was subscribed to a shit load of newsletters. Not freebies & pretentious garbage newsletters, really Interesting ones. But it was hard to read all of them and when you can't keep up it kinda puts a mental pressure over you (Maybe the pressure is not the right word) Like you think "I have to read those emails." Anyway, one time I sat down and unsubscribed to everything. Best decision I ever made.
I am starting more and more to feel the same way. Every day it piles more and more and I only have so much free time available. I find myself hitting the unsubscribe button quite often lately.
Precisely! I have unsubscribed from every brand/newsletter/company or anything that isn't an actual human being. I have also deleted Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and unfollowed every page and individual on Facebook. I have tried to consciously remove digital clutter. I encourage everyone to do the same. My life has become much simpler :)
• Julie Zhou http://www.juliezhuo.com/design/mailinglist.html • Invision https://www.invisionapp.com/blog#
And that's it! I use the Panda chrome extension daily
Product Design Weekly by the Atomic design team: http://designweekly.atomic.io/
Sidebar.io and Front-end Front are my favorites =)
I like Panda (https://usepanda.com/newsletter.html) and find Pycoders Weekly has some good stuff, although not a ton of design material.
I'm trying to be very conscious about what emails I get and I have tried many weekly emails (Tobias', Marvel), but here are the ones I found best for myself:
Webdesigner News
The only one I try to read every single time is Coffee Table Typography.
I've got a few I need to clear out, but these are the ones I read. They're less strictly design related but all I feel help me in my role as a product designer and give a broader perspective.
Brain Pickings - Philosophy https://www.brainpickings.org/
MIT Technology Review - Tech https://www.technologyreview.com/
Exponential View - Future tech and everything around if from technology to politics, philosophy, socio economics etc http://www.exponentialview.co/
Farnam Street - General brain food and learning https://www.farnamstreetblog.com/
Do You Speak Human? - AI and Chatbots - Not sure if this one's still going though it's fairly irregular https://space10.io/
Surprised Kevin Rose's The Journal hasn't been mentioned. http://www.thejournal.email/
Some that aren't directly related with Design:
I get a lot of newsletters and honestly end up archiving most of them, but the two I always make sure to glance at are Morning Reader and Sidebar.
Email is cluttered already, so I prefer RSS subscriptions instead.
Invision & Really Good Emails
Sweet work Rishabh! Turned this, combined with a previous list I had into a site of newsletters and roundups. I've split it into a few more additional categories that myself and my team thought of whilst quickly putting this together. Check it out! http://roundups.co
Thanks Joel! Saw your curated list as well, great collection.
Inside Intercom has quite good content about anything related to product management!
Some email design specific newsletters:
The one from UXdesign.cc is the best one i know
Strategy Soup - http://www.strategysoup.com/
Pro Rata w/ Dan Primack - https://www.axios.com
On another note, I'd be interested to know what non-design related newsletters people subscribe to?
Here's what's in my inbox.
Nautilus it's an amazing magazine, I love it
http://bit.ly/2gG5PkH This is a weekly inspiration made by few french people in their free time. Otherwise I use only RSS feeds.
HeyDesigner & Offscreen ...and my local grocery shop. Been on a mission to slim it down.
