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

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?

View on HN

Here is some good quality inspiration: https://tympanus.net/codrops/

This is nice and practical, plus she uses Eric Meyer's CSS Reset! That's a big plus in my book.

HN is one of those sources. Adn i like these https://thebridge.jp/en/ https://www.behance.net/

Didn't know The Bridge before, thanks!

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.

The design section of WWDC video sessions: https://developer.apple.com/videos/design/.

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.

We launched projectilo to enable this kind of showcasing/collaboration/inspiration especially for indie devs: https://projectilo.com
