For those reading this list for the first time:
I've been a founder for 12+ years and subscribed to pretty much every publication out there (TechCrunch, Reddit entrepreneur-related subs, etc.) Besides this sub-reddit, the best quality-advice I've consistently got was from HackerNews.
The problem with HackerNews is that many of the articles there are some heavy tech. However, the entrepreneur-related ones (which appear once in a while) are AMAZING, with the comment section being world-class. There are around 20 articles like these each week, and I'm posting the top 10 here. If you'd like to continue to receive posts like these every week on IndieHackers, feel free to upvote this, it means a ton for motivation :)
