Ever heard of google.com

Google isn’t a website where we find new interesting thing, it’s search where we are trying to look for exact pages instead of exploring new things. Dev.to , Reddit, stackoverflow are kind of places that lets you explore new things.

Well I guess I didn't read all the caveats, but Google still is my fav website, maybe everybody's even, except the Chinese

Suraj Vishwakarma • Dec 29 '20

Suraj Vishwakarma • Dec 29 '20

Bing is by Microsoft; Google is by ... Google?

Suraj Vishwakarma • Jan 3 '21

Yesss and you can find Google on bing and vice versa

Suraj Vishwakarma • Dec 29 '20

Yesss like bing but ahead of bing

James Hubert • Jan 5 '21

I’m pretty sure Bing was first

Suraj Vishwakarma • Jan 5 '21

No Google was first

James Hubert • Jan 5 '21

Bing came before Google.

Suraj Vishwakarma • Jan 6 '21

It's about Microsoft not bing

Suraj Vishwakarma • Dec 29 '20

Except search engine 😁

My list:

Dev.To - It has a clean design
YouTube - I last watched television in 2018 and that was for watching the New Year's Eve fireworks; YouTube has displaced it from my life
Google - It literally is the best at returning relevant search results; they are powered by some special sauce that nobody else does
HackerNews - They have a wide variety of links; they are the new ReddIt or SlashDot

Suraj Vishwakarma • Dec 28 '20

That's the great list of website and surely dev.to is one of my most favourite website on entire internet.

I haven't tried HackeNews bit I surely will try🔥

Rishabh Singh ⚡ • Dec 28 '20

For me it will be Dev.to & Spotify...

Nonetheless I love youtube and many others as well🔥🔥🔥

Suraj Vishwakarma • Dec 28 '20

Sure bro music + coding and blogging is best things

Rishabh Singh ⚡ • Dec 28 '20

Exactly 😍

Suraj Vishwakarma • Dec 29 '20

Yesssa

George Francis • Dec 28 '20

For me dev.to / codepen etc are for sure in there, but as something a bit left-field I absolutely love typewolf.com/

Ande • Dec 29 '20 • Edited

dang, i just found one of my other favorites

Suraj Vishwakarma • Dec 29 '20

Me too in the form of dev.to ❤️

Suraj Vishwakarma • Dec 29 '20

That's great 🤩

YNAB youneedabudget.com

Excellent UI that does what I need Sure, I want more (and some of those wants are in the pipeline), but budgeting can be complex and a good user experience is WAY better than a gagillion widgets that 5% of users know how to use.
Amazing consistency in messaging Everything from help and videos to release notes. I particularly like their release notes and job descriptions (something I've done my fair share of). Good branding is a fine goal, but a good, strong culture turns branding into something valuable to customers.
Great support I had an issue with automatic imports from my bank (it was my banks fault, mostly). YNAB eventually overhauled their import mechanism to improve importing generally and fix my issue in particular. When it was finally fixed (months later) support reached out to let me know. I think they even reach out midway to give me an update (that a major feature/refactor was in the works, but taking time).
Good value for the money I pay a reasonable fee for a valuable product. I've tried a lot of budgeting tools: mostly hand-crafted spreadsheets, but a few products, free and fee-based as well. YNAB is far and away the best. I save money (or spend it smartly) and they make some money. Your mileage may vary, but I find it an amazing value for $84/year.

In short, when my bank was doing weird 2FA things that broke automatic imports I almost changed banks (but manual imports were easy enough, and I walk by my bank on the way to work, well, before COVID, back when I walked to work). I use it nearly every day. It usually makes me smile. Software is hard, so this a rare thing.

Not affiliated with YNAB in any way ... would love to work there some day, but I'd have to level up my SAAS, Ruby, and Ember experience.
