Very late to this but for what it's worth I stumbled upon this and tested their release from earlier today and it seems basically fine. Everything I've tried works except for popping out panels (like the history panel, layers panel, etc) which doesn't appear to be supported. Not sure what was broken for you since you neglected to elaborate, but if things weren't working for you right up front then it must be iterating quickly. Not saying this to brag or to take a stance on it or anything, just observing.

Yes, I build and ran the photoshop clone on my Mac just now, and it seemed mostly fine.

For the problems I did face, I am not sure if they were bugs in the software or just me not being familiar with Photoshop with the Mac's touchpad controls.

I'd think this project kind of settles whether one can build large, working software with AI, for those that were still unconvinced.

I am surprised this has not seen more discussion on HN. The post is flagged.
