About
Signal, not noise.
Design Tool Radar is a biweekly digest for working generalist designers. It exists because keeping up with new tools, AI workflows, and UI/UX resources had become a second job — endless feeds, hype threads, and launch noise to wade through for the handful of things actually worth your time.
Why it exists
It's built by a designer who got tired of noisy feeds and wasted time. The premise is simple: most “what's new” content is optimised for volume, not relevance. A great tool and a forgettable one get the same breathless launch post.
So instead of more feeds, this is a filter. Twice a month, the best of what's new lands in your inbox — already vetted, scored, and summarised — so you can stay sharp in a few minutes instead of a few hours.
How it works
Scan 25+ sources, biweekly
Product Hunt, Hacker News, design blogs, and more — swept every two weeks for anything new and relevant.
AI scores every pick
Each find is scored 1–10 for relevance to a working generalist designer, weighing practical utility, novelty, and quality. Only picks scoring 6 or above make the cut — everything else is dropped.
You get the picks
On the 1st and 15th, the top picks land in your inbox — each with a relevance score, a one-line summary, and a link. The final editorial call is human.
