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, apps for desktop, mobile and web that helps you save time, help with productivity and code development. Also we got some a new CSS framework that takes a different approach, new CMS and PHP framework. Plus some good CLI utilities to AI-powered services.

Additionally, I’ve added some WordPress themes, plugins and WooCommerce extensions. And like usual I’ve also added 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 June 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.
