Ask HN: How do you discover new things on the internet in 2023?

https://www.producthunt.com/ (For new SaaS products and interesting books)

https://sumi.news/ (One quick sweep of current events)

https://pinboard.in/popular (Everything that is trending on the web)

And of course, Hackernews (I regularly browse /newest when I am feeling serendipitous).

I like the Google News that appear on Android when I swipe left from the main screen. It shows you articles related to what you searched recently. Sometimes it came up with things "I didn't know that I wanted to know". I googled a problem from an angle and few days in the Google News on Android few articles related to that problem appeared.

It's also very nice that you can only scroll through only 2 screens of news than you have to wait.

This to avoid the infinite scroll of the Facebook Newsfeed where you keep scrolling for too long and the news get less and less relevant and then you have the feeling of vomiting like when you eat too many candies at once.

For programming languages I use some curated weekly newsletters:

Javascript https://javascriptweekly.com/

React https://react.statuscode.com/

There are curated weekly newsletters on many languages/big frameworks.

Feed snippets from the 'frequent the same haunts' into search engine & check out /follow up on the results.

TikTok, unfortunately, is where new things will surface...
