Website recommendations from last night
There were a bunch of website recommendations last night. Some were quite interesting. Please post them here.
outweb.io
Mine was outweb.io which is a progressive web app store and it is also a progressive web app. This is the future of app stores. No more walled app gardens, just many different types of distributed app stores. Since all apps of the future will just be links all app stores will just be a nice, curated list of links with a UX/Presentation layer on top.

That's awesome!

Articles -- both their own and shared from other sources -- about the intersection of tech and social justice.
They have a weekly newsletter roundup, which is usually how I engage with them.
