Show HN: Photoshop Clone Built in React

https://github.com/chase-manning/react-photo-studio
49•chase-manning•8mo ago
I built React Photo Studio, a free image editor that runs entirely in the browser with React and WebGL. Right now only the brush tool is functional for drawing, while the rest of the interface is a prototype awaiting development. Everything is client side, no backend.

I would appreciate feedback on usability and code structure, and I welcome pull requests.

You might like https://www.photopea.com (not open source), and https://chowderman.github.io/xp-paint.html which is open source at https://github.com/h53d/xp-paint
codetrotter•8mo ago
https://github.com/chowderman/chowderman.github.io looks to be the original repo for https://github.com/h53d/xp-paint then.

And the other is a clone of that repo which was reuploaded manually instead of using the “fork” UI buttons of GitHub. Which is fine and all. But better to link the original as the repo anyway.

This is tool is amazing! I know it's built using WASM and creator earns a lot on this tool from ads. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26769141
abejfehr•8mo ago
Photopea isn't made using WASM, it's just vanilla HTML/JS/CSS

Edit: well besides (as of 3 years ago) 2 modules apparently: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/s2elpv/comment/hsfwn9...

janmo•8mo ago
Photopea is really amazing, we even use it professionaly
sandreas•8mo ago
There is also pixlr: https://pixlr.com
janmo•8mo ago
It is a bit disappointing, almost every feature I click it says that it is still in develoment.
abejfehr•8mo ago
I'm not actually sure that you can do anything besides draw right now
maximge•8mo ago
I see a lot of "Feature In Development"...Well, the "Clone is in Development..."
mdhb•8mo ago
Meanwhile.. actual photoshop is built with web components.
renerick•8mo ago
So it's basically just static a visual reproduction (aside from the brush). Nothing wrong with that, but I still was hoping for a bit more functional demo, at least with working menus/buttons/dropdowns and layout management.
vrighter•8mo ago
Sorry, but you haven't built it yet. Built it means it is mostly working. This is mostly not even implemented, much less working.
broadwayinc•8mo ago
Still this is pretty cool
alexpadula•8mo ago
"feature in development". This is really spot on in regards to UI though :D
axelMI•8mo ago
you could have a look at the source code in https://github.com/xdadda/mini-photo-editor for image effects (demo at https://mini2-photo-editor.netlify.app/)
