For iOS, I really like iOS Dev Weekly: https://iosdevweek.ly

Dave, who runs it, also built https://curated.co, which is a tool for producing these kind of hand-curated newsletters.

I run Mandarin Weekly (http://MandarinWeekly.com/), for people learning Chinese. It comes out every Monday, and I've been doing it for more than a year. It's fun to hear from other people learning Chinese, around the world!

From https://frontendfront.com I send a newsletter every Monday with the most upvoted front-end news of the week.

I run Daily Tech Video, at http://DailyTechVideo.com/, with a single, curated conference video about the sorts of topics I like -- namely, Web development, programming languages, and databases. I started it to keep up on topics and conferences, and I'm now up to more than 430 videos, categorized by language, technology, etc.

I use http://www.pearltrees.com, fully hand curated. I think it matches exactly your needs.

For engineering, I would recommend Sliced Ham [1]. It contains some engineering and development blogs from various companies and individual contributors.

Try NewsletterStash http://www.newsletterstash.com/

It's a newsletter directory where you can search and find all kinds of newsletters even with subjects outside the tech world. (I've got no affiliation with them, just found it a while back on OpenHunt and thought it's useful.)

In addition to others mentioned here, I've been enjoying Weekend Reading by Assaf Arkin for a roundup of lighthearted tidbits about the dev world, in addition to some useful tips:

I pretty much NEVER subscribe to anything like this as it seems like a given that I'll eventually get spammed. Recently, though, I signed up for the "cron.weekly" [0] newsletter and it's actually pretty decent. I think I first saw it mentioned here. The "archives" [1] are available as well, so you can get an idea of what it's like before you sign up. [0]: http://www.cronweekly.com/ [1]: http://www.cronweekly.com/arch…

Hi there,

I'm writing that mailing list, so I'm very happy to read you're enjoying it. Thanks for sharing!
