ArtCraft

“now that we've got OnlyOffice and ArtCraft, there's almost no reason to continue using the MS Office suite”

“how fast and light their interfaces felt compared to the originals”

“Makes me happy to see things like artcraft coming out that directly impacts the big tech companies themselves.”

“Thanks to those people we may soon have great alternatives to monopolies.”

“Linus Tech Tups tested this and determined that it's nowhere near ready for professional use.”

“I also don't get any of the brush lag mentioned, it's silky smooth.”

“They're building a free, open-source Adobe Creative Suite alternative entirely in Rust.”

“The Artcraft team seems to have successfully been able to vibe code all of Adobe's creative suite”

“it's extremely slow and lots of little bugs to the point I would never use it professionally”

“I've actually been more impressed from a marketing standpoint then by the product offering”

“if they offer the basics, and they're free and open source, it will be a win”

“They're bad apps, coded by an amateur, offering no new ideas and only the most obvious subset of functionality.”

“found a surprising amount of functionality, especially in the Photoshop clone”

“It does not appear to be even remotely at feature parity, but they write about it as if it were finished and working.”

“It already looks very impressive to me, and I look forward to the project proving these doubters wrong.”

“aiming for parity fundamentally misunderstands the reality of both the software they’re trying to replicate”

“UI does feel like babby's first software project but it is somewhat functional”

“The fact that this does everything it does is super impressive.”

“this seems like slop for now (at least it's rust, not electron)”

“It is an identical recreation created in bad faith with zero additional creativity put into it.”

“It's expected from a vibe coding project, especially if they care more about the optics than functionality.”

“I tried their photoshop "equivalent" and it's a piece of garbage. Essentially nothing works.”

“I'm not sure if it really makes sense to copy the UI and visual language of the source that verbatim”

“Honestly the scrollbar is infuriating. Can't expect any better attention to UX from the apps.”

“Specially when the LLMs he is using to make this software were 100% trained and likely heavily influenced by the software he is shitting on.”

“looks like a cool project. Looking forward to the *Craft repos on github gaining traction”

“The videos of the features are very well done, and it looks like there is a unified vision”

“the scope is enough to test most of the claims being made about vibe coding”

“I would rather have either than AI-slop clones of Adobe apps that enshrine Adobe's dated workflows”

“this tech helps me tell stories more directly than photons captured on extremely expensive glass”

“Think of it as "ComfyUI, but comfortable" and geared to high-volume creators rather than hobbyists.”

“You can clone the repo and easily add/remove things you want.”

“it focuses on frontier models like Higgsfield or OpenArt do, and it is structurally oriented rather than node graph based”

“we're making our tools open source and we undercut middle-men aggregators with strong BYOK / "login with" components”

“We've taken our old experiments and turned them into a much more robust tool that is practical and useful.”

“I built an intentional "crafting" engine so people could mold images like clay, with full intention”

“open source (non-OSI fair source) desktop "bring your own keys" system”

“ArtCraft, which is a more artist-centered version for blocking out and precisely articulating scenes.”

“it's a fantastic AI tool for consistent, fully-intentional scenes with deliberate set and actor blocking”

“AI tools are incredible at getting ideas out of my head and into yours on both a time and monetary budget.”
