I use to have a very big list that I would consume via RSS. I kept making the list smaller and smaller as I wasn't checking it very often and thought that was the reason. Then I realized why: for the most part I was seeing the best of those articles on HN. So now, for my daily reads, it is 100% HN + some curated newsletters I'm subscribed too.

Please share your preferred newsletters -- I can't seem to find the good ones.

Peter Cooper has three of them that are hard to beat: http://rubyweekly.com, http://javascriptweekly.com, and http://html5weekly.com.

I'll plug mine as well: Hacker Newsletter - http://www.hackernewsletter.com, which is a product of what I said above. :)

I sadly found Peter's newsletters to be quite noisy for my taste, but I signed up for yours in a heartbeat. Thanks!

Noisy? Too many items? They have been growing over the months, admittedly, but there's a lot of noteworthy stuff happening :-)

Thanks Peter for chiming in. I'm fine with missing a great chunk of noteworthy stuff and rather read one focused source only. ;)

[petercooper]

This is where I'm trying to get some advice from you ;-)

Each newsletter is focused on a topic or natural collection of topics. What source is more focused on, say, Ruby than Ruby Weekly? I would find this useful advice! :)

Or are you saying you'd rather see, say, 3 or 4 links a week related to a topic.. and it's a problem with the volume rather than subject "focus"?

I am the author of "Practicing Ruby" ( http://practicingruby.com ). It's a paid newsletter but I offer it for free for anyone who can't pay for it, and try to release back issues relatively frequently.
