I'm no AI fanboy, but it's neat to see some dreams come true because of it.

#3Why the decision to store edits in sidecar instead of the app’s library? I’m sure there’s pros/cons that were considered, so curious how the pros won out.

#4Wild, I was literally just today looking at this repository to see how I could do raw image thumbnailing in Rust. Coincidences...

#5Looks very interesting. How much work would it be to get this code signed for the Mac?

Not much, but you might want to donate to help the author offset the Apple Developer account cost :^)

#7Hey congrats on the app! This is just what I'm looking for :)
Just installed it on my m1 mac and opened a folder of RAW files. The initial loading lagged my whole macbook. Couldn't even open the dock. Once the thumbnails all loaded it's better but not as buttery smooth as I would have hoped! Would love to know what other commercial apps do that make them not lag. Is it just that they're written natively?

He's no doubt a talented young man as well. Google Gemini would be much less helpful in many other people's hands; kudos to him. That said, at some point the people so dismissive about the capabilities of current AI systems, will have to admit that they're quite powerful indeed, even with their limitations.

I found it unnecessary to highlight their age.

If you haven’t tried ansel: https://ansel.photos/en/ or darktable: https://www.darktable.org/ I’d recommend trying them out - they are the current open source raw editing apps that perform well that are out there. It could be that this app is competitive with them, but I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet - but both ansel and darktable run well on my M1.
