πŸ”₯ 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 β€œlet's take back the entire internet.” The apps are being downloaded 1.7 million times per day. πŸ’‘ Why it matters An AI model built a 60% Photoshop alternative in 24 hours – 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. ⚑ 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 – now the quality has to follow.
