Hey folks,

On the hunt for some digital inspiration here. What are your favorite webapps that just nail the whole user experience thing?

I'm talking about the ones that make you go "Whoa, that's smooth!" when you use 'em and never make you think twice about what is the next action in the app?

Of late, I have been noticing that YouTube recommendations are terrible. But that's sort of ok, cause I have seen such fluctuations in the quality of recommendation before.

My biggest gripe is even subscriptions page in the YouTube app is messed up and videos by people who post less often do not appear. Ironically their videos are often less clickbaity and of greater quality and I actually look forward to them. I expected the subscriptions page to be more true to the real timelines and less algorithmic (for want of a better word).

I do like the option to download my videos though.

What is a better way to access YouTube on Android.

Hi, I am going to give a small talk tomorrow for some college kids on Natural Language Processing. Its would be nice if I can leave them with a set of simple NLP exercises that they can try to get to learn NLP.

Also, an approachable beginner course that they can learn from on their own without the help of an in person instructor will be something useful for them.

Do you know of any such resources?
