Blogroll
Before search engines became a thing, blogrolls were quite common. Everyone would have a section on their websites dedicated to sharing links they liked. I just love this idea of subjective and personal curation, leading you from website to website.
Blog
- Andy Matuschak Is it still necessary to talk about the digital garden guru?
- CMHB Super cool blog about web design and technology. Bonus points: Carl is into rock-climbing.
- Devils What a refreshing personal website! It breaks the boudaries of what a personal website could be.
- Eau de poisson (in French) Robin and I started Eau de poisson as a travel blog to share with friends and family. We now use it as a way to document some aspects of our personal lives.
- Hundred Rabbits When I think about inspiring people, I think about Rekka and Devine, the creators of Hundred Rabbits. They live off the grid on a sailboat, have a plant-based cooking blog, create open-source projects... Do I need to go on?

Game

Newsletter
- Dense Discovery Kai's “curation newsletter” about design, productivity and society—love the personal intros and Worthy Five sections
- Labnotes Assan Arkin's weekly newsletter answers to my crave of random browsing without spending too much time on it. It is mostly tech-oriented.
Reading
- Libby App A library reading—but in my case mostly listening—app. Their interface is great and makes borrowing audiobooks a breeze. Check if they partnered with your local library!
