web programming
Websites are becoming complex and sophisticated. A lot of software is built for the browser and distributed online. There are now bots that speak with you like Alexa/Google/Siri/smart-TVs/Tesla. Many programming IDEs, smart refrigerators, billboard advertisements, etc. run on JavaScript. The crypto/blockchain industry and Web 3.0 use many familiar technologies, but many new and exotic ones. Decentralized apps store data/files not in one server but on a peer-to-peer cloud covering the entire world. Web development is also getting simpler, with no-code tools, many great resources, shared knowledge, better UI, and 1000s of plug and play services.

Other resources
Lists of software for remote workers and teams. Simple directory. It's not perfect, but a good place to learn about some great tools in each category. Try each one and decide for yourself.
A Groupon for software? A new app directory? Growing in popularity!
Similar to this site. Very few pages, but the couple available are quality! Best one istools for Notion
Only for Notion, but great interface! See this guy on Twitter/Youtube. I think he's going to expand into other online startup resources soon.
This used to be very popular. Sold to a big company. Now it's like any other directory, selling out top spots to the highest bidder. A lot of irrelevant and outdated content. Awkwardly designed and organized. Often broken. Might still be worth checking out though, for the long lists of tools. Just keep in mind that it might be missing some newest tools, and the tools at the top of their lists are not necessarily the best.
Discover the best new software, tools, and products of all kinds!
Browse through their amazing community discussions! Share! Discover! Get inspired! Enjoy building!
BothProductHuntandIndieHackersare amazing resources for starting a business or software. However, there is just too much stuff there, not enough categorization or navigation.Techy.toolsoften takes resources from these two sources, then organizes them into easy to find and read snippets. Techy.tools also features resources about other parts of life like reading and writing, travel, events, crypto, art, and doing everyday tasks more easily and efficiently.

Many of the links and resources here are geared towards online entrepreneurship. Written byPaul Shorey. Hoping to turn this site into a community shared knowledge base, but without losing the high quality of curated content.
Written inNotion.so. Published using custom developed software. I'll be launching the Notion → Website publishing platform that made this site possible as a monthly subscription, likeSuper.soorSquarespace.com, but first looking to partner with an existing platform or business.
