Its 99% Typescript and we don't use any premade js frameworks, everything was written from scratch (except for some font loader and zip), ui, rendering, webgl filters etc etc.
All the knowledge of how Photo Editing works came out of building the original products back in the day, there is more information about the field today to be found written online but much is still secrets kept at a few companies.
The browsers is really a shitty environment to be writing this kind of apps in, performances is a struggle in every step :)
- relaxing 7y agoI’m curious if you can share some of the deep knowledge of photo editing you’ve uncovered - if not in explicit detail, what are some of the general areas where public knowledge lags behind state of the art?
- nojvek 7y agoI’ve spent years building Flash and Flex apps. Some really complex ones. Adobe had this big bets in RIAs (Rich Internet Applications). Turns out RIAs are simply SPA (Single Page Applications) now. Typescript is really nice and close to Actionscript3. I’m glad Flash died. The new open ecosystem with tc39 and wc3 is pretty awesome.
- chii 7y agoGiven the previous app was flash, I'm surprised that haxe wasn't chosen to implement the app!
