Hello artists of fediverse!
It's probably not a wild thing to say that we all hate Adobe and similar giant companies that make art software that:
1. Doesn't work on linux,
2. Could probably disappear tomorrow without any warning, taking all our projects with it and
3. Requires expensive subscriptions
I want to try and combat that by creating an alternative open source suite of tools!

Q: But what about existing open source tools (inkscape, gimp, krita...)? While I'm very greatful for their work and what they've brought to the community, I personally couldn't get used to them. They feel slow, outdated and are not made to work together elegantly. I also have friends that are artists that feel the same way. While I do believe that these tools work great for some people, they do not work great for everyone and a little bit of choice never hurt the open source community.
