Adobe:


Somebody vibe-coded free open-source clones of basically the whole Adobe suite in Rust and dropped them a few days ago.

The guy (Brandon Thomas, @echelon) used Claude Opus agents to build PhotoCraft (Photoshop), VectorCraft (Illustrator), FilmCraft (Premiere), LightCraft (Lightroom), EffectCraft (After Effects), DesignCraft (InDesign), and PrintCraft (Acrobat). Mostly clean-room from public docs and watching the real apps, no decompiling.

He got the first versions out over a weekend. PhotoCraft alone is around 250k lines of Rust already, has real PSD support, a GPU compositor, and runs on Mac/Windows/Linux + browser.]]> "Software is Over": Someone Vibe-Coded Open-Source Adobe Clones
