Ask HN: Where do you research tools/libraries to use for your projects?
4 comments
I would type in "Golang" (for example) into Github search, then order by most stars and then see what the trends are and investigate any particular libraries that catch my interest.
Several people maintain awesome-x lists. Those, GitHub search and web search are my go to resources.
ProductHunt for exploring & Google when I'm looking for something specific. Thanks for mentioning Github Trending!
Search most popular nuget/pypi packages and read up on them
For me, it's a manual process of scanning Twitter/Google/Podcasts/HackerNews/Reddit/Github Trending to stay up-to-date.
Interested to know what sites people use, and what their process is, and what pains they experience with this process.
