Hello FollowFoxers!
As the year of 2023 comes to an end, we at FollowFox decided to share our thoughts and findings once again. But, as we were putting together the list of our blogs, we decided to fill it up with some external resources as well. Some may be interesting, some less, but we hope this ‘extensive-ish’ list will help newbies navigate the space more easily, and for experts, it will serve as a list to recap 2023.
If you come across a resource that you think deserves a spot on our list, or if there's something we missed, please let us know. We promise to continue filling up this list, with the hope that it will save time for AI enthusiasts and help share the knowledge.
