They want lock-in for their UI/X, presumably. If Photoshop ran in the cloud, I doubt Adobe would let you make an alternative front-end either. Not that I'm sympathetic to them.
- simple10 7mo agoYes, this. They need as much lock-in as possible before IPO. Most likely less about cash flow and more about IPO story telling. We'll know for sure when they add full OpenClaw-like features to Claude Code like remote channels & heartbeat support. Both are partially implemented already.
- stanac 7mo ago> If Photoshop ran in the cloud Off topic, but there is something like that: photopea, it's free and it's good enough for my use cases (I need it once a year maybe).
- tredre3 7mo agoIt's served from the cloud but it runs entirely on your PC (except the AI generative tools). It can't run entirely offline though, because the js, webassembly, and assets are served chunked as-needed. Saying Photopea is good enough is really underselling it. It's so far ahead of anything offered by the open-source community. I'd be so happy to pay for a fully offline version of Photopea!
