@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.

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 ...

πŸ’‘ Bright idea
Congratulations on the successful launch of Depths! It's great to see how you're fostering a community for tech enthusiasts to discover and share inspiring articles. To further enhance your product, consider adding these features: 1. Personalized Recommendations: Implement an AI-powered recommendation engine to suggest relevant articles based on users' interests and past interactions. 2. Collaboration Tools: Allow users to create and collaborate on curated collections, fostering a sense of community and knowledge-sharing. 3. Gamification Elements: Introduce badges, points, or leaderboards to encourage active participation and engagement within the platform. 4. Offline Reading: Offer the option to save articles for offline reading, ensuring users can access content even when they're not connected. 5. Social Sharing Integration: Enable seamless sharing of bookmarked articles on various social media platforms to expand the reach of inspiring content. Would love to connect on Product Hunt and discuss more. Let's continue the conversation there! Congratulations again on the impressive launch!

@realkunalmehta Hi Kunal, thank you so much for the feedback! For 1., right now the ranking of our "Trending" resources is actually calculated by the resources that you have saved, followed, upvoted and clicked. We have an AI system to calculate the content relevance. But of course it is a beta version and we will keep working to improve the recommendation system! For other features, they are really insightful and can fit into our platform so well. I just connected you on Product Hunt. Feel free to join our Discord server (https://discord.gg/v8j6XBxr) for further discussion! We have a channel for feedback :D
Jane Manthorpe
@realkunalmehta @peter_tkw I agree with what Kunai mentioned regarding collaboration tools and networking tools. I am passionate about tech, but not built anything in tech, but would like to. Meeting, networking and collaborating with other people specialising in tech is one reason I like the idea of Depths.
Alex Au Cheuk Ming
Why jot your own notes and google resources blindlessly when Depths can organize and recommend those good ones? Congratulations to the launch! Much appreciate the hard work of good team of engineers.
Desmond
@alex_au_ Thank you Alex, good team of engineers is the key indeed πŸ˜‰
Rohan Fulzele
Congrats on the Launch, Team Depths πŸ₯³πŸ’― I would highly recommend folks who are into tech and are unable to find good resources. Don't worry you all are covered. Find best resources at one place with various categories like Ai, Web3, WebDev, Python,etc Go checkout Depths πŸ˜ŽπŸ™Œ
Peter Tong

Congratulations on your new product! It appears useful, gonna try it out
Peter Tong
@cyriljeet Thank you Cyril. Feel free to drop us any feedback!
Desmond
@cyriljeet Thanks so much Cyril :)
Ritchie Wong
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!
Peter Tong
@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!
Ekemini Samuel
At this time, it's not the information that's hard to find, in fact there's lots of information in the tech space. The main thing is being able to access curated content that'll be helpful in your field. This is where Depths comes in - the techies social bookmark, content curated in Depths on different aspects of tech. Big thanks to the Depths team! Congratulations on the Product Hunt launch! πŸš€πŸš€
Peter Tong
@ekeminisam Absolute agreed. The true valued contents are like scatted dots on the Internet, and curators are the ones trying to connect these dots :D
Billy Lui
Loving Depths and how easy it allows me to save and share all the resources I found online. I used to keep tabs open on my browser, and Depths made it much easier to navigate resources. What's better is I can even add my own notes and opinions on the shared content, making it so fun and enjoyable to use. Besides, it's also incredibly easy to see what others are sharing and networking while enjoying intellectual exchanges with curators from all around the world. Thanks, @ho_desmond and @peter_tkw, for building such a great platform.
Desmond
@peter_tkw @billylui Thanks for the kind words Billy! Learning resources on the Internet are underrated and under-utilized if we don't have a better way to explore, resurface and aggregate them. That's why we build Depths! And social element is just something that make the process much more interesting & engaging. Thank you for being part of the journey, Billy :)
Ho Leo
Love the concept of a social bookmark hub for people in tech - I love that everyone gets a profile page where they can showcase their finds. The design looks much slicker and easy to use, awesome product!
Desmond
@leoho Thanks a lot Leo! We think curation is a great way to surface inspiring content on the Internet since there's just too much distraction & content everyday. Great to know you like the concept :)
pandit dhamdhere
Great product. I recommend you to try
Desmond
@pandit_dhamdhere Thanks a lot Pandit!
Michelle Cheung
The Chrome Extension is incredibly useful for saving articles that I used for debugging. Sometimes I find a good article on StackOverflow I would just save it with one click and I don't need to search through Google to find it again. Very useful!!!
Desmond
@flowclass Cheers Ivan! And I don't have to go search for related debugging solution if I followed you on Depths, that's the use case 🀩

@madzadev Thank you Madza!

As CAE engineer and self-taught coder, I've tried multitudes of different bookmarking systems. TL;DR I now use Depths to do the heavy lifting. I've always wondered, how can I sort the wheat from the chaff with enormous scattered information in the net? Depths has the potential to solve this pain points. Like Metcalfe's Law, v = n^2. The more professionals from diversified profession come onboard, the closer we're in reaching this goal to let education be open-sourced. Definitely a MUST-HAVE app in your daily driver! Kudos Depths Team on the PH launch!
Peter Tong
@hafeezcae Thank you Hafeez! The Internet has a lot of nodes but the connections between useful contents are sparse. That's why we try to reconstruct a sub graph for technical contents in Depths and make the distribution of information much effective and useful.
AbdulHafeez Sadon
@peter_tkw Great, I strongly believe that having professional from the industries curating the content in Depths is a significant differentiator that makes Depths a more valuable resource for users.
Shushant Lakhyani
Depths seems like an incredibly useful tool for tech enthusiasts and curators like myself. The ability to save and share inspiring articles, while gaining insights from diverse perspectives, makes it a must-have for anyone looking to grow in the tech industry!
Desmond
@shushant_lakhyani Thank you very much Shushant! We want to build a new way for people to explore tech knowledge - not through machine-driven algorithm but through the lens of other passionate tech people. So happy that you like the concept!
