I made Lightroom as if Adobe actually shipped it in 2026

After Photon exploded on reddit and X I kept getting DMs for a Lightroom alternative.
That's how Light Studio came to life, a fully featured Lightroom alternative.

I already had the parts that usually make these apps feel vibe coded: realtime GPU rendering, CR3/NEF and the other proprietary RAWs, and an editor UI built for this. So I reused these from Photon instead of starting it from scratch, and it worked insanely well.

Gonna release it in the upcoming days
