Designer News

About

Designer News is a daily edition of hand picked links for the design community, aimed at ambitious designers. It lists tool releases, AI shifts that change how products get built, writing on craft and videos. Each link is summarised in a couple of sentences. A scout reads hundreds of sources each morning and a human makes the final call on what earns a slot. Members vote and discuss, so the best links rise. To submit a link, a person signs in or joins, then sends the link to the editors, and the best submissions make the daily edition. The site does not state a price for submitting, a review time or the link type. Advertisers can request a sponsor slot through a form on the advertise page, and prices are not shown. Designer News was acquired and relaunched in 2026 by Michael Wong, known as Mizko.

How to submit
