Ask HN: As a creative developer what are your sources for inspiration?

25 points| feriforgacs | 6 years ago

I'm looking for websites, twitter profiles, discord channels, books, movies, podcast, etc to get a daily dose of inspiration from new technologies and award winning solutions to fancy preload animations and other tiny details. What are your sources?

Nothing like learning a new tool for me. Recently this has been latex to make a book. Learning new (new to me) tech usually involves a struggle and from that struggle seeds other project ideas and business ideas etc.

There's https://www.designernews.co/ similar to hackernews.

Ironically I think that Hacker News exhibits better design than Designer News. The responsive design of that page is such that it cuts off icons when viewed at a width of 960px (half of a screen in 1080p) and on an iPhone SE there are only four articles visible at a time compared to HN fitting 7 without compromising readability.

Nature. Nature never hacks, because nature already owns everything. Every bug is a feature.

Other developers, designers and people having a generally hard time.
