The best new tools for designers are ones that make your life easier and your workflows faster. You’ll find some of those in this list this month for sure.

from a few JavaScript libraries that help developers, apps that helps developers save time and space, a modern approach to understanding website traffic to some UI frameworks, productivity apps, and workflow tools, plus some good CLI utilities to AI-powered services.

Additionally, I’ve added some WordPress themes, plugins and WooCommerce extensions, fonts, UI kits and a few sets of different types of icons. So there is something here for developers, site builders, and product teams alike.

If you think I’ve missed something that you think should of been on the list, let me know in the comments or if you know of a new a that should be featured on the May 2026. Please either send to me through bluesky,  tweet/X it to me @SomeWhatCrtv or even use the Submit Resource form and your resource could be seen on next month list.
