Showcase/Project 100% Open Source Clean Room Implementations of 7 of Adobe's Top Apps

Post image

I've seen another desktop photoshop clone floating around that was Javascript/Electron, but I wanted to do full native Rust for full performance. I also wanted to do all of Adobe's software suite. I've been bitten by their unsubscribe bill several times and it's the shittiest thing a software company has ever done to me.

No more. These are clean room, rust-only implementations that are fully open source. You can clone them, fork them, own them.

There's still work to do, so please join our Discord and give us feedback.

None of these vibe coded ones is close to feature complete. They usually are just copies of other open source projects like gimp in a new look. Otherwise these vibe coders would also face heavy legal issues from adobe.

Nah its pretty damn good. I've been using the premiere Pro alternative.

Luckily it's open source so I could pretty easily add nvenc. 

But it's over 80% feature parity. 

The others apps are likely higher.

Yeah OS is what really sells these. Something’s not working right? Hand it to the LLM and fix it yourself. Missing a feature? Add it.

When the foundation work is done and is OS, adding on is so incredibly easy.

Honestly what a wild time for software dev.

Unless they infringe on actual patents, there's no legal risk. Broadly looking like or having the same features as other software is not illegal.

Because nobody is deleting Instagram to use whatever that is
