ArtCraft Clones Adobe with AI and Rust
ArtCraft has used AI to recreate Photoshop, Acrobat and Figma as open-source alternatives, with ambitions to rebuild further applications.
#open-source#AI-agents#Rust#developer-tools#ArtCraft

π₯ What happened
ArtCraft released 17 open-source apps, including PhotoCraft, a Photoshop clone built in Rust. CEO Brandon Thomas rallied the AI Engineer Code Summit with βlet's take back the entire internet.β The apps are being downloaded 1.7 million times per day.
π‘ Why it matters
An AI model built a 60% Photoshop alternative in 24 hours β and PhotoCraft opens ten times faster than the original. With 4,000 developers and 300 community projects, frustration with subscription models is proving to be a powerful engine.
β‘ Our take
This isn't another GIMP clone; it's a frontal assault on Adobe's moat. Hitting 1.7 million daily downloads proves the demand is real β now the quality has to follow.
