It's got the kind of UI that I would love pre-2024 or so but these days it just screams "AI generic" unfortunately. Documentation is fairy concise and reasonably LLM-jargon free though.
Love this.
This is unfortunately exactly the kind of project I wouldn't want to trust my photo management workflow to...software is cheaper than ever, thoughtful maintenance and longevity is worth much more to me.
Not that Adobe's getting my money either.
What advantages does this offer over Darktable, the long standing FOSS lightroom alternative?
Edit: One criticism of Darktable is that it emphasizes its "scene-referred workflow" as opposed to a "display-referred workflow" like Lightroom does, making it not a true Lightroom alternative. Seems like this also happens to be written in C++ and also uses a scene-referred workflow? Quite the coincidence. How much of the important design decisions (or implementation) are just copied from Darktable?
I will admit that all in all darktable has a more comprehensive set of controls over editing. However, it is harder software to use.
would love an AE and InDesign clone, theres just nothing as good as either
perhaps my requirements aren’t that complex but i find Affinity mostly a great replacement for InDesign. there are some annoyances and unintuitive limitations but its all workable.
ae with more stability and error handling would be a treat
Given that some are now reversing all closed software using LLMs, it should be now finally worth reversing the whole of Nvidia’s closed source software, drivers and blobs, including CUDA.
No excuses this time.
Apple silicon as well.

macOS download url after downloading with librewolf and rightclicking "copy downoload url": https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/f1e08a34d17fd85cd8896ba86...
Edit: i dont get this when copying direct links from the readme.md. Its just when i click them and copy the url it used to download.
Edit2: i get this too when i download the x64 exe and copy the download link from the librewolf (firefox fork) download manager https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url-analysis/u-6a55e124c22f9b...
Edit3: maybe false alarm and the botnet used the github url https://release-assets.githubusercontent.com/ to spread malware?
I'm not sure you submitted the actual artefact? Would be interested in knowing, though.
If you copy the url at the top and resolve it, it downloads the bin. But i think this may be a false alarm and the botnet just spread his malware over github.
