I also read the daily email from http://oppsdaily.com/ to see if there is a problem that I can solve that someone is willing to pay for.
Might sound dull, but I recommend Wikipedia. There is a word for it, which I forgot, when you look something up on Wikipedia, the article contains a link to another article, and you go, "Oooh, that sounds interesting", open it in another tab, then, when reading the second article, you come across two or three more of such links, and before you know what is going on, you have dozens of tabs open. The only limit is you…
I built an app based on that exact concept: http://thewikigame.com which has been running for many years, and is now quite popular. The database of the site now contains a large record of millions of game plays of players trying to go from one Wikipedia link to another. See here for some interesting academic research that has been done on the site's dataset: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jSGFRZYrJnlDUBhGbQrO9e-…
I know what I'll be doing next weekend! :)

Wikipedia is probably the most dangerous procrastination tool on the net. There's not limit there, the rabbit hole just goes deeper and deeper.
tvtropes should also be considered in this category.
OTOH, I learned a lot that afternoon. Watching TV programs has never been the same.

It's called link diving
Some time ago I built https://10hn.pancik.com/ to aggregate and rank interesting articles and make them easily readable on the phone. There are days when I don't read anything else, just swiping through 10HN reading few long reads.
Also down arrow doesn't scroll as expected (maybe this is intentional).
Daily - Mostly Tech / Science. I love hacker news as it covers basic science as well. From discovery of planets, to Gene editing. Hacker News :) http://techmeme.com/ https://slashdot.org/ Weekly - World http://kottke.org/ https://www.edge.org/ Youtube App on Ipad, Subscription to Joe Rogen, Tim Ferris, and many others Podcasters like these mostly point out to any random topic under the sun, and the discussion is Deep…
You need http://skimfeed.com in your life.

Not sure if you care, but when first opening the website - hitting the right arrow doesn't work (you have to click first). Also down arrow doesn't scroll as expected (maybe this is intentional).

I'm scared to mention electron on here, always draws out the torch and pitchforks
This is precisely the attitude that makes mature programmers not taking you seriously. If you're young and feel the need to express dismissal to the people who take their work more seriously, that's fine -- hormones and stuff, we've all been through that, so meh, nobody is mad about it. You still shouldn't forget it's a _job_ and not a fashion statement. The fact that Electron is easy to work with, _for you_, means a…
You've inferred that I'm young (nope), implied that I'm not mature, don't take my work seriously, that I have "hormones and stuff", that I consider electron a fashion statement (?), that I'm dismissive and arrogant, and that I'll never challenge my opinion. Phew!
For the record, I have dabbled with electron, and I'm on the fence about it. It's a quick path to MVP, but it has obvious performance issues and I'm not sure I wish to inflict these on my end users. I'm teaching myself react native and python/qt at the moment instead.
Thanks for proving my point so completely. Hey and look, a downvote too.
