Today we are starting a new type of post: a weekly digest of articles, videos or just links we stumbled upon during the last week. They don’t have to be brand-new, hyped or hot on Hacker News to get onto our list (link #1 is from 2012) … instead being great, entertaining or just full of good stuff helps a lot :)

Maybe we got something you haven’t read/watched before:
