- This looks so promising as a lightweight replacement for Bridge or Photo Mechanic and the interface is great.
Has a lot of opportunity on the actual image rendering and performance side, but will definitely keep up with updates on how it evolves!

- As someone who has had to use Creative Cashcow tools in the past... dare I ask what the hell was Bridge even for? Just an Adobe-developed file manager?
- These things are such a puzzle because there are so many that pop up and just don’t survive. I loved FileLoupe, for example, but it appears abandoned.
So I am sure to try this. I’d love to see closer integration with Affinity where that is possible.
- Looks good!
Have you compared the image colors on the screen between your implementation and Adobe Bridge? Are they significantly different because of LibRaw, or is it not a problem?
Thanks!
- I would argue that the choice to render the embedded JPG is optimal from the UX of a Fuji user. We tend to use the JPG as the creative reference we want to start from using the film sims.
- I’ll check this out. The macOS photo library situation is really embarrassing. I actually migrated from Affinity to DxO Photolab (expensive!) a few years ago just for that.
- Wow, nice implementation, very smooth.
I’m building photopipe.app, a paid cloud-based culling tool, so I’m taking the opposite approach. Curious what made local-first important for you.
- Just make sure to release it on Windows, There are more installed copies of Win 10 amd Win 11 than all iOS, MacOS, OSx systems combined
- Thank you for building high-quality alternatives to Adobe software!
- Dope. I'm gonna have to check this out.
