Hacker Newsletter

The weekly newsletter is a great way to get the most important information: https://hackernewsletter.com/

I've been subscribed to HackerNewsLetter [1] for a few years. As others have said, though, HN doesn't have an official email alerts feature. [1] https://hackernewsletter.com/

Nice to see an approach to reduce doomscrolling (for myself, and most of my bubble, the biggest addiction, impacting productivity, mental health, and neck). Yet, there is Hacker Newsletter (https://hackernewsletter.com/, which I like and use), there are others pointed by GPT5 that I don't Mailbrew and Digest. Kagi looks like the true former. What I do want is personalization - not by picking interest, but actual personality, prompt, tastes, good enough that it puts something other, rather than only narrowing and narrowing my view. Yet high quality, rather than clickbaits and other "fluff". Otherwise, following a few Reddits would do the job (with some API to send emails). What I would like even more is something that actually turns my social media into daily emails.

I've been a subscriber for the hacker newsletter [1] for years and it does a great job of curating content from this website. This inspired me to create The Gaming Pub [2] which is a similar kind of curated newsletter but for gaming content. I believe newsletters like that are a great way to find interesting stuff. 1. https://hackernewsletter.com/ 2. https://www.thegamingpub.com/

Still running https://hackernewsletter.com/ after 15 years and 60k+ subscribers. It has been hard to put a lot of focus on it the past couple years, but been finally getting some time to spend on some improvements there. Income here has always been simple sponsors which I'm very grateful for.

As an alternative, you may subscribe to the Hacker Newsletter: https://hackernewsletter.com/?ref=find-your-newsletter

I’ve been subscribed to https://hackernewsletter.com/ for years. I imagine this would be tough to compete with.

Regarding HN in particular, I use https://hckrnews.com/ with "top 10" visible to reduce the amount of things I need to check. If that's too much, subscribe to https://hackernewsletter.com/ and don't consume content on the main HN website. Realizing the we have finite time and cognition is key to help us accept and reduce what we consume and what we like.

A newsletter that's sent without anyone signing up for it is not a newsletter, it's spam. For a great HN newsletter I'd suggest the curated one that always re-surfaces some interesting links: http://hackernewsletter.com

Yes, I only visit reddit when I have only have something curious about, I don't actively scroll through it, maybe a few minutes when I'm on it. That's healthy boundary. As for Hacker News, there is https://hackernewsletter.com/ that sends you mail of the best articles on startups, technology, programming, and more. All links are curated by hand from Hacker News. Join 60,000+ other subscribers and don't miss another week. They also offer daily mails, but I'd say avoid it.

I subscribe to a weekly hacker news newsletter (https://hackernewsletter.com/) and find that helps me tame the urge to keep checking the website during the day.

I’ve been a weekly subscriber for several years now to https://hackernewsletter.com/ run by Kale. He recently added a daily newsletter, if that’s your thing.

My three favorite HN readers are — [1]: https://hckrnews.com/ "hckr news" [2]: https://hackernewsletter.com/ "Hacker Newsletter" [3]: https://news.ycombinator.com/front "HN’s daily front page" They offer good ways to browse HN posts on slower cadence.

I was on a similar situation until last month or so. I read this book called The Shallows by Nicholas Carr which references a lot of research that consuming lots of internet modifies your neural paths and makes you more distractable and harder to do deeper thinking (such as reading books, etc). I’ve since removed hn from my browser favorites and get a curated list of articles each friday from [1]. I just came here today to skim some articles as i’ve worked all day in a house project and my body hurts so I have no energy for other things. This house project, some other mini-projects that i’ve done and the 2/3 books I read since last month is something i can now do because now I avoid HN (and the whole internet) by default.. [1] https://hackernewsletter.com/

I use the leechblock plugin and have it redirect any site like twitter/reddit/hn to my todo list instead. I also have it setup so I can only view hackernews on Fridays so I'm not constantly loading it. I also subscribe to https://hackernewsletter.com/ which is a list of all the interesting articles from hacker news from that week. (it comes out on Friday, thus I unblock on the site on my computer on Fridays)

I think a lot has changed since Tim wrote that book, but a low-information diet is always wise to minimize distractions. I find it hard to stop reading HN or getting news from my twitter feed. You can try the Hacker Newsletter for the first case: https://hackernewsletter.com/ For Twitter since it's mostly fluff, I just delete the app and restrain myself from touching the web at high demand times. Probably people do the same when they close facebook. You could also leave your favorite sites in a bookmarks folder, then consult them all just once a week for an hour or so, on weekends or any downtime. A set, scheduled, timeboxed one of course.

I am on HN mainly for the comments. The way I usually learn about interesting threads (which I mostly like to read after a while so they have enough comments) is the HackerNewsletter[0]. Also (shameless plug), I built AskHN Digest[1], a weekly recap of the top threads of AskHN with their top comments, to make sure I don't miss any good content from the section. Many times the comments there have been insightful and made it worth visiting the thread after a while, when most people had the chance to comment on it.

While it's not broken down into such specific categories, Hacker Newsletter [0] is a great way to get a weekly summary of posts separated into topics. For instance, here's [1] their most recent one, where you can see posts broken down into sections like code, data, design, learn, etc. [0]: https://www.hackernewsletter.com/ [1]: https://mailchi.mp/hackernewsletter/424

I agree... not enough subscribers. recently read that hackernewsletter [0] has close to 50K subscribers and charges a flat $850-1K per edition. 0: http://www.hackernewsletter.com/

I'm personally trying to fix the habit of constant checking of HN so that I don't miss out on the good stuff with a weekly email that I can review once a week. [1] Admittedly, breaking the habit of checking HN throughout the day is a bit harder to break than subscribing to the newsletter, but in theory it would be an excellent solution. :) 1. http://www.hackernewsletter.com

I subscribe to Kale Davis's newsletter http://www.hackernewsletter.com/ It seems to catch what I have found, plus quite a few more top items. I prefer Kale's selection to YCombinator's own selection of top posts, https://twitter.com/ycombinator/status/694198847145312256.

I just visit hacker news every few hours. If it makes it to the frontpage, then it is worth reading (if it interests me of course). I tried subscribing to blogs and newsletter and I never read them - I just end up with another inbox that I can't empty. Also http://www.hackernewsletter.com/ is awesome - I get a weekly email with the "best of HN" in case I missed them...

I love the weekly-newsletter format, so i very much appreciate Kale Davis' hacker newsletter: http://www.hackernewsletter.com Other than that i use MiniHack on iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/be/app/minihack-for-hacker-news/id631108846?m… I rarely use the website

I'm using http://hackernewsletter.com Got weekly nicely formatted email with: .. best of week favorites .. best #ask hn .. best #show hn .. best #code .. best #design It allows to read me HN on weekly basis, not on daily, and also got to the comments sections (email provides both links to articles, and to HN discussions) after few 'days of curation'. Highly recommended. I'm not affiliated nor the author of the tool. just happy user.

Mark Cuban recommends Cyber Dust: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cyber-dust-disappearing-chat/id6901586… (not encrypted AFAIK but transient). There's also Telegram (though I think there's some drama around them from a competition they ran earlier this year) for secure messaging, and Google Docs.

In a similar vein, I'd recommend http://www.hackernewsletter.com/. I subscribed a few weeks ago and have enjoyed it quite a bit. An example of their latest newsletter: http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=faa8eb4ef3a111cef92c4f3d4&id=7…

>If I could just find someone who made a Hacker News digest, with the 10 best items from Hacker News, that would be a really good Slashdot. Ahem: http://www.hackernewsletter.com/ Only problem is the lag in receiving it, if you care a great deal about participating in the comments.

I'm subscribed to the Hacker Newsletter, but it´s weekly: http://hackernewsletter.com
