@ho_desmond Congrats Desmond, I have been having a great experience with Depths and learning from all the curated resources. Such a great idea to keep updated with the lastest tech news and resources. Good Luck with the official launch.
Congrats on the launch—love making reading a more multi-player game! This sounds like a better experience than the current mix of newsletters I have collecting dust in my email inbox. Curious how you think about your product in the context of newsletters / curated lists?
@christal Thank you for the support! It’s an interesting story on how we come up with this platform. When I was self learning on the Internet, I often found myself bookmarking a lot of resources that was useful during my learning journey. But it is only useful when I have to share it to some friends studying on the same area, or I referenced it back for some of my side projects. For the second use case, there’s already a lot of useful bookmark/productivity SaaS. So we decided to look into the first one and try to unleash the potential values of your bookmarks.
I guess I'll get back to my untouched bookmarks with Depths. Congratulations on the launch @ho_desmond @peter_tkw
Good luck with the launch! I’ve personally tried the product, super neat! :)
@nonthakon_jitchiranant1 Thanks mate! Your curation on Depths about AI is so good too 🔥
Definitely something for me! Small tip: test your landing page on 2560x1440 resolution and higher :)
Love the concept. I think it is interesting in the sense - to read what others think of a website or article without multiple logins. I think Medium.com used to do this for articles but now a lot is hidden behind the paywall.
One recommendation - can we show auto-generated tags on the cards to make it easier to navigate? I can go to AI or Web3 in tabs selection but if I am on Recent or Trending, it would be easier to see/filter by AI/Web3 etc.
@tanaylakhani Sure that would be a great feature! We did tag each resource with technical topics under the hood, but we haven't designed to include that visually on the interface yet.
congrats for the launch - love the concept! coz right now it’s hard to have organised collections of what/how online materials have inspired us - and we can easily share that out w/others - can’t wait to see how this will evolve - good luck team!
@ritchie_wlc Thank you Ritchie! We believe that the process of curation from an intellectual contains much more value than scattered and overwhelming information on the Internet. That is the value we try to deliver to everyone!
Congrats on the launch @ho_desmond! What a great bookmarking product for readers to keep on track with the latest tech news! Keep going🔥
Hi all. This is Peter, the co-founder of Depths.
I am a self-taught software engineer. I realised that everyone can teach themselves everything on the Internet. But the problem for new learners is that, if you don't have much experiences, you don't know:
- what resources are best for you
- what you don't know
- what technology you should OR shouldn't learn
You often need to waste a lot of time for the above reasons. And there are some problems regarding the current social platforms or even the Internet for self learners:
- information overload
- can't effectively distinguish click-baits and REAL useful content
So we were thinking, what if you can see what resources a 10 year experienced software engineer are reading daily? What if you can see what resources that a AI industry lead think would be a new trend? What if you can also share your experiences on your expertise and we help matching the like-minded ones to you?
That is the motivation behind Depths. We believe the presence of curators is much more important than just the information itself. We aim to create a space where people can be inspired by each other, and grow every day.
@peter_tkw Totally love the concept you shared " So we were thinking, what if you can see what resources a 10 year experienced software engineer are reading daily? What if you can see what resources that a AI industry lead think would be a new trend? What if you can also share your experiences on your expertise and we help matching the like-minded ones to you?" .... I view Depths as a place for people in Tech or people who are interested in Tech, to meet others specialising in certain areas in tech and create opportunities for collaborating and networking....to learn together the lastest trends and how-tos in tech, and many other possibilities ...
