Glittering_Diver_478 · reddit · 2026-08-23
After being fired and facing hardware limits with Adobe apps, a non-developer used Claude-Code (Opus 5) to build a browser-based design tool aiming to replace Illustrator, Lightroom, and parts of After Effects.
Features:
- Vector: Points, curves, Booleans, masks, layers, and editable .ai file import.
- Photo: GPU-based grading with curves, color wheels, and LUT support.
- Motion: Timeline with springs and parenting; exports to MP4, GIF, or CSS keyframes.
- 3D Modes: Toggle between 2D, 2.5D, and 3D views within the same document for immersive web design.
The app is in open beta, requiring no account for core usage. Future updates will add Figma-like collaboration and responsive layout features.
