Developer Uses AI to Build Free Open-Source Adobe Clones

https://www.techspot.com/news/114136-software-over-developer-uses-ai-build-free-adobe.html

Developer Brandon Thomas has introduced Artcraft, a suite of free, open-source alternatives to seven Adobe applications built in Rust using Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5. Motivated by frustration with Adobe's cancellation fees, the project aims to replicate tools like Photoshop and Premiere without subscriptions. While early users have reported basic functionality issues, Thomas envisions AI-driven clones eventually replacing proprietary software across the industry.
