About the project

An open-source clean-room reimplementation of Adobe Lightroom in pure Rust: non-destructive raw development, color grading, masking, presets and a photo library. Runs natively on macOS, Windows and Linux, in the browser via WebAssembly, and can be driven by AI agents over MCP.

Useful for
  • Develop raw photos with non-destructive exposure, color and tone curve edits
  • Mask the sky or subject with gradients and apply local brightness and color adjustments
  • Drive the library and edits from an AI agent over the MCP channel

Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • 27 stars so far today, about 41 expected by the end of the day.
  • The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
  • The repository is 3 days old and already has 74 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #173.
  • About 11 forks a day — people are taking the code.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @mbrukman (392 followers).

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
