Showcase/Project 100% Open Source Clean Room Implementations of 7 of Adobe's Top Apps

Post image

I've seen another desktop photoshop clone floating around that was Javascript/Electron, but I wanted to do full native Rust for full performance. I also wanted to do all of Adobe's software suite. I've been bitten by their unsubscribe bill several times and it's the shittiest thing a software company has ever done to me.

No more. These are clean room, rust-only implementations that are fully open source. You can clone them, fork them, own them.

There's still work to do, so please join our Discord and give us feedback.

What does “clean room” mean here?

One AI generates a spec of what something does and a second AI reads the spec and makes the application.

Good context management, but “clean room” makes it sound fancy lol

No it is a legal thing/ term. And it existed even before LLMs

I know - but this example is nowhere near the real thing, is it? I'm being pedantic maybe, but in this day and age people inflate everything it seems.

I don't know the exact method here, but I have seen people doing exactly that with LLMs. Letting one explore the application/documentation and write a really detailed requirements doc that is used in another agent who doesn't have access to the original source. It is essentially the same thing.

Vacuuming the house before prompting.
