I kind of wish he’d just raise money for or contribute to Adobe alternatives that are still feature-lacking.
NotAPenguin@kbin.social 1 year ago
Affinity is a great Adobe alternative.
elucubra@kbin.social 1 year ago
Affinity is awesome. I've used Serif products over the years and they've always provided exceptional value
VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 1 year ago
He's right, Adobe's grip on users is bullshit. I just doubt that he's gonna be the guy to fix it.

Oh, it’s that guy. The “Semple vs Kapoor” stuff was funny.
Before I recognized who was doing “abode” I was going to say that name was just asking for trouble, but yeah, he knew what he was doing.

His pigments are pretty cool. I’ve used several over the years and quite liked them.

This article confirmed I’m still dyslexic
GroteStreet@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I read the title 10 times and was still confused until I saw your comment. And I’m not even dyslexic.
Or am i…?
yggdar@lemmy.wtf 1 year ago
Great idea, but the money they have is barely enough to make a dent in the development scope they are aiming for.
agede@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That name really sucks tbh. I suppose they should change the name. Adobe’s current updates really bottlenecks my max spec PC, that’s why I switched from Premiere to Davinci Resolve. Biggest switch in my career, but so far I’m currently loving it!

I‘m not yet convinced. Not enough to see what this is going to look like. And I don‘t find the copycat-name very serious. I hear already the lawyers knocking on their doors.
For alternatives to Adobe I can recommend Affinity software, which is a non-subscription alternative and Photopea as a free browser alternative for PS.
mtcerio@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Adobe are awful. I hope they go soon and bring their shitty Reader in the same way Flash went.
Hazdaz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Photoshop has been around for over 3 decades. It’s original patents must have expired by now.
I am also curious how software like Photopea exists. It is a direct Photoshop rip off. But it only runs in your browser. For small jobs it is fantastic since the layout is exactly the same as Photoshop, unfortunately for larger projects it doesn’t have the speed that a natively installed app would have. Still check out the website if you need Photoshop functionality without paying Adobe’s prices.
But how has Adobe not shut that site down since it mimics Photoshop so closely?
I wish Abode well and would love to see what they come up with.

Awesome guy! I hope he will succeed with this project. I’m also wondering if that guy who made photopea.com is in his team, because if not he should definitely hit him up.
Mnmalst@kbin.social 1 year ago
@hardypart I have no inside info obviously but why would he join? He is making bank with photopea, why support potential competition?

I’m highly sceptical of this shipping in a state that can compete with Adobe at the end of it all. The branding itself is asking for trouble, which is just plain stupid if you are serious about long-term and sustainable development of the whole suite, and 180k is not enough to even put together a competent alternative to Illustrator, not to mention Photoshop and InDesign.
And before people start claiming that you can fund this by outsourcing to Eastern Europe / India etc, please bear in mind that you usually get what you pay for. A competent developer with enough experience to actually make this happen won’t come cheap, and opportunistic juniors with big ambitions won’t deliver.
I wish this project all the luck it can get, but I’m personally banking on Graphite and Inkscape from the FOSS world and Affinity suite from (as of yet) less corpo commercial offerings.
djquadratic@kbin.social 1 year ago
Case in point. I’m still waking up and thought that said adobe is taking on adobe
ddnomad@infosec.pub 1 year ago
Same, actually! And that happened even after I had my morning coffee too.
I especially like how “legal issues” are not even in “Risks and challenges” section on Kickstarter.
What can possibly go wrong?
aeternum@kbin.social 1 year ago
I'm still not sure that's not what it says
donut4ever@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I was gonna get mad you at first, but then you provided some sweet links. 😂 Thank you. And also good luck to abode. The more competition the better.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Just not Canva. We have customers that use Canva and, unless they use presets, the results are universally awful.
hardypart@feddit.de 1 year ago
Have you ever heard about photopea.com? Made by ONE guy.
Vastris31@lemm.ee 1 year ago
While your skepticism is valid, it’s important to consider that competition doesn’t solely rely on branding but also on innovation, user experience, and pricing. The concerns about funding and developer quality are legitimate, but success can be achieved by striking the right balance. While alternatives like Graphite, Inkscape, and Affinity have their merits, it’s worth keeping an eye on emerging projects as well. For a broader perspective on outsourcing development, this article on IT outsourcing in Europe (www.cleveroad.com/blog/it-outsourcing-europe/) can provide insights into potential options and considerations for ensuring competent and successful development, addressing some of the concerns raised.

Creating a new design is always an arduous task. I like how you discussed a British artist Semple. His aim is to create new design and photography tools in competition with Adobe. I think that the competition in the startup area is so high that you can’t relax even for a minute. Plus I liked how you addressed concerns with regard to legal issues and the importance of innovation and competition in tech startup ideas. As we talk about startups and raising capital I advise you to look at this article about tech startup ideas https://solveit.dev/blog/tech-startup-ideas. The most popular niches for growing startups for now are Artificial Intelligence, Telehealth and Virtual Medical Services, and Remote Working. EdTech Startup, Biotech Startups, and IoT startups.
