    Just curious, what is the subscription for? Purely for image generations? Are these built into the apps, or just a web feature?

    Haha, I wasn't ready to post this to HN. It's not anywhere close to ready. But thank you aghuang. (I want to post this again when we clear Beta phase.)

    These are still super early alpha. All MIT/Apache licensed. No telemetry.

    I'm going to try to drive these to 100% parity but it's going to take a minute. And I'll need lots of help. (Anyone want to join me? I'll pay stipends and bug bounties.)

    I'm going to do Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, and Solidworks too. Probably a lot of stuff to collapse.

    It's not just SaaSocalypse. Everything can be open source multiplatform Rust now.

    Party like it's 1999 and the Internet / tech scene belongs to us again. We can literally deenshittify the world without breaking a sweat.

      Just wanted to say at least for the non-creative apps I am already doing that at https://azul.rs

      I like this mindset but damn that's a lot of tokens? At what cost? And then to continue to maintain and .. idk.. I suppose it'll work? If the motivation is strong enough and momentum is sustained?

        Only have to pay the price once.

        I'm sick of Gimp, Krita, and Inkscape being the best Linux and open source have to offer.

      This project looks extremely ambitious. Are these applications coded by AI by any chance? I can't find any easy documentation about the development process.
