A developer with 15 years of experience has released free, open-source alternatives to seven Adobe applications, all written in Rust. The suite includes replacements for Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere, among others.
The creator emphasizes this is not a disposable hobby project. They bring serious credentials to the effort—having previously built payment systems that process billions of dollars daily. According to the developer, the initiative aims to provide artists worldwide with high-quality, accessible tools that don't require expensive subscriptions.
The projects are available on GitHub under the profile storytold, where anyone can explore, use, and contribute to the open-source codebase.
