There are dozens of people in your GitHub repo and they are all subscribed to a chatbot that is doing almost all the coding after being fed screenshots of Adobe’s apps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/541f1d9ce4b0debb33192ee5/6fe036e3-6bef-421f-bfcd-a27c046e41ed/Screenshot+2026-10-12+at+17.48.22.png Blog - Attack of the Vibe Coded Photoshop Clones If companies like Adobe needed permission from people like ‘reacharavindh’ there would be no launcher for continual updates, the cost of a 'one-time’ purchase would be too expensive for young influencers who need to edit their online content, there would be no document syncing between computers and tablets, no cloud workflow for teams, no fonts and plugins that can be downloaded from the launcher, it would be harder to find plugins from third party developers without the launcher, and any cloud powered feature such as Subject Select or Generative Fill/Expand would be too compute intensive to do on a laptop or desktop computer without an extremely expensive GPU. On one hand we have AI guys who abuse AI to rip off movies, books and now applications. And then on the other hand we have people like ‘reacharavindh’ who talk nonsense because they don’t need to be accountable for their uneducated opinions and exaggerations behind their internet handle. I’m tempted to believe ‘reacharavindh’ was not around when Photoshop cost over $1000 (around $3000 in today’s money) and was extremely basic compared to today’s version. He probably doesn’t understand how professionals and businesses expense software either. Software is, in general, deflationary - especially if the market keeps expanding. https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/541f1d9ce4b0debb33192ee5/f46c5014-bc59-408b-a158-4ac1e144bc66/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/541f1d9ce4b0debb33192ee5/f46c5014-bc59-408b-a158-4ac1e144bc66/thumbnail Blog - Attack of the Vibe Coded Photoshop Clones Here we see Photoshop versus vibe-cloned copies of Photoshop. We test brush stroke performance on a billboard-size canvas with the brush set to 1000 pixels size. Photoshop handles this with no issue. The vibe-coded clones perform badly (basically unusable) because Claude can only give them off the shelf solutions it was trained on. https://www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/9/12/vibe-coders-are-exploiting-the-animation-community monthly 0.5 2026-09-14 https://www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/18/is-it-all-over-for-filmmakers monthly 0.5 2026-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/541f1d9ce4b0debb33192ee5/961bb3be-abf5-4904-86a1-1757c251dfb6/Screenshot+2026-02-18+at+01.14.59.png Blog - Is it all over for filmmakers? - Make it stand out “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” - Carl Sagan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/541f1d9ce4b0debb33192ee5/2375db24-d73a-4c18-8dd8-f0a2650ea152/Screenshot+2026-02-25+at+06.55.59.png Blog - Is it all over for filmmakers? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/541f1d9ce4b0debb33192ee5/3635d50e-8c20-46d8-a6a5-6d3ef5ed1525/Screenshot+2026-02-23+at+02.31.09.png Blog - Is it all over for filmmakers? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/541f1d9ce4b0debb33192ee5/736f3df0-128c-4a82-aa5d-8b7f9bbdb795/Screenshot+2026-02-20+at+23.15.53.png Blog - Is it all over for filmmakers? - Make it stand out Badly rendered Chinese writing that means nothing.
