# Tag, You're Subscribed Source: https://www.dandenney.com/posts/general/tag-youre-subscribed Date: 2025-07-15 Tags: general Summary: So many newsletters that I love --- Email has been a large part of my web dev career. I learned to love building out [newsletters for Code School](https://reallygoodemails.com/school/what-makes-a-really-good-emails) and that led me to doing some conf talks and even creating a course! That may be one of the reasons I've valued them, but a very large part of it is the shift in social media for the web community. I now primarily rely on email newsletters for my industry news, sprinkling on some RSS and links from the seven apps I have to be part of to replace Twitter. Buckle up, because I have a loooootttt of them. To be fair, I do not "read" all of these, I mostly skim them for things I'm interested in. I'm grouping them by category and I'll start with web dev ones since that's likely the community this will reach the most. I promise I skim all of these each week. When life gets busy, I will claim bankruptcy and start fresh with inbox zero, but these are how I stay in the know. ## Web Development - **[A11y Weekly](https://a11yweekly.com/issues/)** Since [Eric tagged me](https://ericwbailey.website/published/newsletters-that-regularly-hit-my-inbox-these-days/), I'll lead with one that I know is important to him as well. It's the best way I know to keep up with news around web accessibility - **[Bytes.dev](https://bytes.dev/archives)** My most shared newsletter, where something in it will make me laugh out loud so I'll get it out on socials. It's one of the few I fully read, because it's both hilarious and informative - **[Web Tools Weekly](https://webtoolsweekly.com)** Fantastic resource, with a weekly topic and one of the better collections of links to skim for your interests - **[Frontend Focus](https://frontendfoc.us)** Another great one for skimming for your interests, usually with some descriptions that will make you crack a smile - **[Sidebar](https://sidebar.io)** A community-driven newsletter that at one time I contributed to when Sacha was running it. It has a new sender, but the quality has remained - **[The Pragmatic Engineer](https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com)** A little more "think-piece" than my others, this one has some article that you usually want to sit down with a coffee (or your smart article reading beverage of choice) - **[Unicorn Club](https://unicornclub.dev)** A great mix of design, dev, and product links to skim - **[Product for Engineers](https://newsletter.posthog.com)** The focus is what's on the tin and this one leans more towards longform articles since it's a substack - **[JavaScript Weekly](https://javascriptweekly.com)** Another Cooperpress, I subscribe to most of what they do. They get the best collections of links related to a topic and they have for years. This one is about everyone's favorite thing to hate - **[React Status](https://react.statuscode.com)** Another Cooperpress, for people who like their JS in the shadow realm. I heard React was good, so I check this out to see - **[CSS Weekly](https://css-weekly.com)** Consistent quality links for skimming about everyone's favorite thing to debate on if it is a programming language - **[Kevin Powell](https://www.kevinpowell.co/newsletter/)** Sure, this newsletter is about CSS, but it's really about the joy of Kevin's enthusiasm for anything. If he wrote about Angular, I'd probably still subscribe just to enjoy his passion - **[Spark](https://codepen.io/spark)** Jaw dropping work, excellent resources, and usually nice, short read at the bottom. This one sparks joy in my life - **[Smashing Newsletter](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/the-smashing-newsletter)** Smashing has been a consistent resource of mine for my entire web career, starting back in 2009. Their quality has been top-notch all the way through - **[Modern Web Weekly](https://modernwebweekly.substack.com)** One of my newer finds, this one is "heady". You'll typically want time to read through some advanced breakdowns of front-end work - **[TheoSoti](https://theosoti.com)** Another recent find, full of high quality tips for improving your code and finding ways to use the platform - **[ModernCSS](https://moderncss.dev/newsletter)** I've been learning from Stephanie for years and her newsletters are a great way for you to as well - **[Rendezvous with Cassidoo](https://cassidoo.co/newsletter)** A wonderful newsletter from the web's funniest dev. Short, human shares, great links, and a small challenge. (Plus, usually a joke) - **[Ted's Newsletter](https://www.tedgoas.com/newsletter/)** A fellow email nerd turned Design Lead, I greatly enjoy his recaps. They're a mix of professional and personal shares and links - **[Daily.Dev](https://daily.dev)** Community-driven collections of great links - **[Hacker Newsletter](https://buttondown.com/hacker-newsletter)** Hot links from the best site to never read the comments section - **[The Brief](https://designlab.com/blog-category/the-brief)** Quick collection of design-related links with thoughtful descriptions - **[Byte Byte Go](https://blog.bytebytego.com/subscribe)** Dev articles that are typically over my head, but that I try to learn from anyways - **[Lenny's Newsletter](https://www.lennysnewsletter.com)** Recent sub, full of great articles leading to great videos, and some great links - **[TLDR](https://tldr.tech)** This moves out of the front-end realm to more "tech" news, but it's another great collection of links to skim - **[Drew Barontini](https://drewbarontini.com/newsletter/)** The most efficient front-end dev I've worked with and nowadays he puts a lot of that efficiency into product development ## Data Science I work at DataCamp and have a penchant for data visualization. These help me feel the pulse of that world. - **[Data Elixier](https://dataelixir.com)** Skimmable collection of links - **[Data Science Weekly](https://datascienceweekly.substack.com)** Skimmable collection of links, with some interactive items - **[The Median](https://dcthemedian.substack.com)** I know these folks! But seriously, I like this for the data science news and for what my teammates view as valuable ## AI You may want to skim over this if you're not into it, but I'm bullish on AI. - **[Ben's Bites](https://www.bensbites.com)** Commentary and great links - **[The Rundown](https://www.therundown.ai)** Nice grouping of links - **[The Neuron](https://www.theneurondaily.com)** Love the visual style, great links to skim, and typically a nice prompt suggestion - **[Neat Prompts](https://www.neatprompts.com)** Love the way these are grouped, makes it a very skimmable newsletter - **[Last Week in AI](https://lastweekin.ai)** A little tough to skim than others because it's wordy and there's very little contrast between links and the long descriptions, but always good content - **[Product Hunt Daily](https://www.producthunt.com/newsletters/archive/daily)** While technically a digital product collection, half of the list are AI-related things lately. I love skimming for interesting products I may want to try and to see what ideas are being built ## Nashville I live in Nash and need to keep up with latest bars, restaurants, and things to do. Not expecting you to dig these, but maybe take it as a way to see if your area has some. - **[City Cast Nashville](https://nashville.citycast.fm)** Great articles and podcast links for local stuff and a daily rundown of events and things to do. I've done so many thins from this. - **[Nashville Scene](https://www.nashvillescene.com)** All things Nashville. News, politics, food, drinks, events, etc.
