What I’ve been saying all along

@ElizabethHolmes @_nithinnnnnnn Jesus that’s creepy. Next time just say “Lizzy doesn’t dance like that” it comes off creep when you pretend to be her, Billy

@solopribuilds Refactoring rules. Every release (even bug fixes) incorporate one refactor pass. I have a list of refactoring tasks and just do one at a time. Try and limit to 500 lines or less.

Managed to squeeze 2026.6 out the door before work this morning. If you're looking for a clone of Lightroom, this ain't it. Heeler is meant for photographers looking for something different, not just free.

Finally got a good photo of him. Edited in Heeler

@p_ch Ironic because I’ve started something similar. I managed to get LibRaw to accept a couple fixes so I don’t have to work around. But I started feeling it’s time to maybe reduce dependencies

I was not ready for this

By default, Heeler provides the linear photo editing workflow that is familiar to most. Under the hood, everything you do in Develop mode translates to a node graph. You even have two options for how you work with the graph.

[Ed Caspersen @EdCaspersen]

Latest release of Heeler (node-based photo editor) is out. Squashed lots of small bugs this week. Many people out there cloning Lightroom, this is not a clone. I've actually tried to be a little different.

@asaio87 yeah I can see how people building custom apps for companies/clients still has some life left in it. A client needs someone to be accountable. That's why enterprise will survive for a while yet, indemnification is a thing in the corporate world

[Ed Caspersen @EdCaspersen]

@edimoldovan @jtaby Yes, I needed my own workflow. My own features. Most people don't like it because it isn't exactly like LR, hence the small amount of interest. But its what I wanted.

[Ed Caspersen @EdCaspersen]

If there is something I've learned over the past couple of weeks its that people didn't want a new product. All the rage is vibe cloning, and less about new and novel ideas.

[Ed Caspersen @EdCaspersen]

@SamVale29 Can you call yourself a founder if your entire product was built by under-paid labor? That's the way I look at it. I've worked for a lot of founders that didn't know shit about their product, at least how it was built.

[Ed Caspersen @EdCaspersen]

@snowandcaffeine @johncodes That's my take as well. I had made my own photo editor as well, but it wasn't a clone of lightroom. I tried to build something that has a workflow that I prefer, and features that I didn't find in other editors.

[Ed Caspersen @EdCaspersen]

It's not "vibe coding" anymore, it's "vibe cloning"
