Thank you SO much <3

Thank you, it really does seem to be the general consensus haha

I’m loving the knowledge 🤜🤛

That sounds very likely! I’ll give this another try, I’d love to be able to feel versatile enough to use Affine too, especially as I wouldn’t be able to install high sea versions of photoshop on my work laptop and I use that more than anything else lol

Now that is absolutely stunning, your colour theory and understanding of depth is stupidly strong! Amazing work!

Unfortunately it’s for windows only, I don’t have a windows machine I’m afraid :( Thank you tho, that looks very resourceful. Tons of useful stuff, hopefully somebody else will stumble across this post and find it useful!

I don’t really care for AI features, but I just can’t seem to be able to do anything with Affine, it feels closer to lightroom than Photoshop not gonna lie, maybe I am just not using it right, or maybe I got the wrong version?

Yup. Really seems like that’s my best option, thank you ♥️

Yeah, I’d be happy with anything above cs2 to be honest with you. Don’t need any of the fancy AI stuff, auto subject cut would be a plus, but I can live without and use pen tool like good old days.

That is not a bad should, I just assumed they wouldn’t work but actually you make a lot of sense wise person on the internet!

I’ll scour eBay and sail a little and see what I can find ♥️

I’d accept a lovely DM with very legit urls, as long as it’s for Macos 😆

Thank you! Photoshop is one of these things that’s extremely frustrating to… uhm… sail with lol

I’ll have a look at the site, photo is also my thing, all of these are photo manipulations with little drawing to help get everything together well enough ♥️

Aw! Thank you so much!!! Been loving shopping with Jotty since I built it ngl hahaha

Nice!

The only drawback I have had for heavily customising it is that it’s now not compatible with the latest versions, unfortunately they’ve re-structured their codebase and I frankly don’t have the time to re-do all my hard work, so I’ve been running a very old (but extremely stable) version of it lol

the wife is so not interested

So relatable… haha

Thanks so much for you work and rest assured amongst the negativity you may receive in certain corners of the web, there are people truly appreciative of yours, and others like you, hard work.

Thank YOU! I am so glad you found Jotty useful and resonated with it!

If you end up installing it, give my theme a go, it’s part of the official ones, just search for es-theme-animetaverse ♥️

Well that specific system could emulate all the way up to ps2, plenty of fun to be had lol I’m sure every single arcade system can be emulated with no issues, may struggle a bit with game cube/wii

Obviously… make sure you only use original copies of your own videogames… you wouldn’t steal a car would you

Thank you :) and that’s still extremely valuable and please feel free to contribute if you feel like it!

I am a “fix it forward” kinda person, worked for a decade in digital agencies and even tho I now work as a tech lead in a slow-ish software engineering company I still have that hectic mentality/background, hard to shake it off you know hahaha

And yeah, I have two kids under 4, so I totally get the whole time consuming part, if it weren’t for my peculiar situation I don’t think I’d get as much done as I do now not gonna lie. AI also helps speed things up, for example I added translation support to Jotty and having Claude tackle half the code base string replacement while I was doing the other half felt like having an intern!!

Actually that was a conscious choice! I initially went for MIT on them as they were small little apps I used withing my house with my wife, but as they grew I decided I wanted to truly protect the open source nature of them

Reading a bit into licensing I learned that with agplv3 projects can be copied/taken without credits/do anything people want with it, just like MIT/gplv3, however they MUST stay open source.

Which means no greedy corporation can steal my code, improve upon it, close source it and pay wall features :) they can still do all that, but code must always be open source haha

p.s. I’m fairly ignorant on the matter too, I just searched the licensing that was most likely to make sure my projects stay open source and went for it ♥️

Thank you! Hopefully it resonates with you ♥️

Ha! I kept busy indeed. I am a full time software engineer, so I have a full time job on top of that, yeah.

Aside from the obvious “I work fast”, I had a lot of free evening time this year, won’t get too into it but my child spends a lot of time in hospital. These were a great escape for me (and coding is my hobby, so I mostly do that rather than playing video games or watching TV you know)
