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 high-performance JavaScript and TypeScript runtime, new mac apps for developers specifically, project management app. A CSS library generator, a new headless CMS, practical checklists for UX.

Typebox

TypeBox is a runtime type system that generates in-memory JSON Schema objects with TypeScript type inference. The schemas it produces align with the static type-checking rules of the TypeScript compiler, offering a unified type system that works both at compile time and at runtime validation through standard JSON Schema.

The library is built to let JSON Schema compose in the same way TypeScript types do. It can serve as a lightweight tool for creating complex schemas or be integrated into REST and RPC services to validate data exchanged over the wire.
