Web browser, frontend and standards feeds to follow

November 21st, 2011

While a lot of conversation has moved to twitter and G+, hugely useful information is still published regularly to blogs. I've shared collections of frontend development feeds twice before. Now I'm back, but with two choices:


Frontend development exploration, techniques, tips. Lots of JavaScript.

258 feeds.


Standards development and browser dev news.

49 feeds.

It's easy to click through and subscribe in Google Reader. There is also OPML files if you want to take 'em elsewhere.

Also, a short commentary on blogging vs tweeting.. while a lot of people have changed to twitter+jsfiddle only, tweets are not available via search after 30 days, so if you expect anything you share to last, blog it for real. :)

quick protip: In google reader it's best to set Reader to only Show updated (screenshot), so your left sidebar doesn't show feeds with nothing new in 'em. #shouldbedefault

    Damn you Paul Irish, now I will never get my reader down to 0 unread.

    Work productivity has gone to hell.

    You happy with that Paul Irish? Are you?

    How do you sleep at night?

    **just kidding, thanks for the great bundles

    Yo RADTASTIC!!!

    I remember when I first subscribed to your first reader list which is still in use today :P. I would also have to agree blogs for the future!

    Thanks for sharing / updating.

    "While a lot of conversation has moved to twitter and G+, hugely useful information is still published regularly to blogs" … most interesting part of this post for me (says the guy whose published less than 6 pieces in the last 12 months). Is it a trend? Dunno. Regardless, thanks for the feed!

    258 feeds? How much cross-posting happens within those feeds?

    Thanks for it. I'll see how it compares to what I've already got. Already see some good posts I haven't seen yet.

    Awesome, thanks!

    Hm, FrontEnd vs. FrontEnd-Standards+Browsers. What's the difference, or why the separate lists?

    I almost keep Google Reader open all the time. Thanks the greatest web developer's feed bundle :)

    I like that doctype customizing! I use this for my doctypes from now on: "<☽". The only problem though, is that the html validation just throws a lot of errors when I do this. I personally don't care about it myself, but there are people who might judge your work based on its validation results.

    Cheers Paul,

    For those who have moved to Tweets as a means of sharing, you can overcome the 30 day availability issue if you're on WordPress by archiving your own Tweets which then become searchable. I do it on my own site as I often use it as a means to bookmark with favourites etc.

    Doug Bowman has written up instructions on how to do this if you want.

    Hope it helps.

    James.

    Thanks a lot, Paul!

    I've unsubscribed from blogs that haven't been updated in a while (early 2011, mostly). So, here goes a "cleaned" version.

    @Keyamoon
    what i showed is completely valid. the validator will not have a problem with it.

    @Fabiana Simões
    In Google Reader you can change the left panel to only show feeds that have been updated. This one change makes everything sooo much better.

  15. November 22nd, 2011 at 10:47 #15

    Hrm, Paul did you go through this and prune those that have moved/been deleted/haven't published a post in years? Because I actually did go through one of your older bundles and pruned a fair bit of cruft from it.

    @Andrew Rabon
    Andrew, if you set Reader to only Show updated (screenshot), then there's really no need to.

  17. November 22nd, 2011 at 11:10 #17

    I wasn't aware of that setting. Thanks Paul.

    This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks yet again Paul!

    re/ 'blogging vs tweeting'

    I know what you're saying about the tweet-rot. I have a workaround. I use TweetNest to backup my tweets:

    Is there any chance you could share your Google Plus circle so we can follow the conversation too ;-) ?

  22. November 24th, 2011 at 14:21 #22

    @BigAB

    Challenge accepted!

    I will be adding all of them into my radar.
    And I will do my best to set my unread count down to zero ;)

    Thanks Paul, for this excellent set.

    @Maga D. Zandaqo
    I don't read it but Reader does translate pretty well. Plus the russian js hackers are really good. :)

    Chris, yeah keep an eye out.. I'll share a circle soon.

    Hey been looking closely on the net, but can't seem to find any decent "backend feed to follow". Any idea where to look ? Anyway, I'm glad I have the frontend side ;) Cheers, Paul.

    Great stuff once again – thanks for the protip!
