How much traffic does Designer News get?
Similarweb doesn't rank designernews.co, which usually means very few visitors.
What Designer News says about its audience: The Advertise page says it reaches 'ambitious designers who decide what tools their teams use next: product designers, design engineers and founders.' It gives no Designer News traffic or audience count. The About page says Mizko's YouTube channel teaches 'hundreds of thousands of designers'; that is a channel claim, not a Designer News audience figure.
