Week 41

5–11 October 2026 · 12 picks · Picked by S. Anand Kumar

This week leans towards people who build with AI. Cherry Studio puts many AI models in one desktop window, and the skills and MCP servers lists show how to give an assistant real tools.

For designers, Penpot keeps getting better as a free, open alternative to Figma, and the OKLCH picker makes colour choices that look even across a whole palette.
