I find myself visiting the same group of websites by habit, most times typing the URL unconsciously.<p>Examples HN, news websites, reddit.<p>I'm looking to expand my range and learn new things.<p>What are some websites you visit that others may not come across often that you find useful?
I think <a href="http://www.ribbonfarm.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ribbonfarm.com/</a> and <a href="http://slatestarcodex.com/" rel="nofollow">http://slatestarcodex.com/</a> are sites that are fairly well know among this crowd, but have consistently thought provoking content. If you enjoy meta-thinking or reading about complex societal dynamics, you're in for a treat.
I know it's not a secret site, but my reading consists of paid subscriptions:
- NY Times
- Wall Street Journal
- Hacker News for tech related news<p>A lot of people are against paying for news - they feel it is free elsewhere or they can google the title of the article.<p>For me I noticed that reading the NYTimes and Wall Street Journal provides me curated news with the in-depth high quality coverage I like and leaves me feeling informed.<p>I avoid reddit as I find myself spending a lot of time on it, similar to facebook.<p>Newsletters like <a href="http://allthesmallthings.co/" rel="nofollow">http://allthesmallthings.co/</a> is great has also given me some info on design which I find interesting.
<a href="https://www.artstation.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.artstation.com/</a><p>I've discovered it a couple of month ago, and I'm so happy I did, now I visit it almost every morning. It has so many brilliant digital artists and mindblowing artworks.<p>Even if you're not that into "art", it's so fun to just watch people doing something with incredible level of expertise.<p>Just so fucking good. I can't recommend it enough.
I find Atlas obscura.com to be one fascinating sites.<p>It's a travel guide for the obscure treated in a way that is respectful and not treated as guide for the weird and spooky.
<a href="https://longform.org/" rel="nofollow">https://longform.org/</a> I don't visit as frequently as I used to, but it's an excellent source of curated long form articles; brilliant Sunday morning reading.
I love <a href="http://hackaday.com/" rel="nofollow">http://hackaday.com/</a> and <a href="http://makezine.com/" rel="nofollow">http://makezine.com/</a> and visit them often to learn about DIY projects and making things.
