What it does

Redlamp is a native, open-source RAW photo editor for Apple Silicon, built from scratch in Swift and Metal. Lightroom's workflow, with no subscription and no cloud.

Redlamp is a RAW photo editor built from scratch in Swift and Metal for Apple Silicon. It keeps the panels, sliders and shortcuts you already know, renders every change within a frame, and never touches your originals. Lightroom defined how millions of photographers edit, but it's a cross-platform application that doesn't feel at home on a Mac, and it's tied to a subscription and a cloud. Redlamp keeps the workflow photographers already know, including the panel layout, slider names and ranges, and keyboard shortcuts, and rebuilds everything underneath as a native, GPU-first, open-source application. Redlamp is an editor, not a catalog. It opens folders of photos and keeps your edits in…from redlamp.app

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
