About
A briefing that keeps itself current, so you don't have to.
Why this exists
I'm a product designer, and I kept missing things. A Figma feature would drop, NN/g would publish a landmark study, some new AI design tool would launch — and I'd only hear about it days later from a colleague. The information was all out there; it was just scattered across seventy-odd places: blogs, YouTube, newsletters, podcasts, RSS feeds. No matter how many tabs I kept open or how many lists I subscribed to, things slipped through.
So I built Designator. It pulls from all those sources automatically, summarizes each piece with AI so I can scan it in seconds, and lays everything out in one daily edition. My morning briefing went from thirty minutes of tab-hopping to about five.
It's opinionated on purpose — this isn't a firehose. The feed is weighted toward design and product, not just whatever published most recently. Tech news has a seat at the table; it just doesn't get to run the room.
How it works
Collect
83 sources checked twice daily — RSS, YouTube, and light web scraping — with attribution back to the original.
Summarize
AI reads each piece and distills it to 2–3 lines you can scan in seconds, so the morning takes five minutes, not thirty.
Curate
Weighted by design relevance, not just recency. Tech news is there, but it never drowns out the design thinking.
Built by
The sources
Designator pulls from 83trusted sources across design, product, tech, and AI — from Figma's blog to Lenny's Newsletter to 99% Invisible.
