Ask HN: Books on the Design of Design Tools

By abdullahkhalids · 2026-06-30 · 1 points · 0 comments

I am building a software design tool (think KiCAD, Fusion360, Cadence, etc) in a fairly new domain. I am looking for books that discuss how one can better design such tools? What capabilities and features are useful to build? How to design the UX? Any recommendations?
