I'm working on Tech Talks Weekly which is a free weekly email with all the recently published Software Engineering conference talks in the past 7 days.

Every week I pull all the new talk recordings from hundreds of conferences (Devoxx, KubeCon, PyCon, QCon, LeadDev, JSNation, and many more). I feature the ones I think are must-watch with short summaries written by me, then include a list of everything else uploaded that week.

It started as a personal project to fix my own messy YT subscriptions and RSS feeds and now 8,700+ people read it.

I also publish extra editions from time to time like “The Most Watched Talks of 2024” which made it to the HN front page. Currently, I'm working on 2025 edition that will be published very soon.

If you watch software engineering conference talks, you might find it useful.

I’d love to know what you think!

I keep running into the same problem: I read a message, think I’ll reply later, and then forget for weeks. Sometimes I also realize I haven’t talked to someone important in months and have no idea how that happened.

I’m exploring an app idea called Nudge that would gently remind you to check in with specific people if it’s been a while.

I’m trying to validate whether this is a real problem worth building for. Waitlist here: https://forms.gle/pHMABTsbctLXZPZj6

Would you use something like this, or do existing tools already solve it well?
