有人用 Astra 规划、Codex 修 bug，做出 Photoshop 替代品 Photon
花约 2000 美元 token，Astra 负责架构规划，之后靠「用→找 bug→丢回模型」的循环打磨，上线首日 170 名活跃用户。
🚨 SOMEONE JUST SHIPPED PHOTON — AN AI-BUILT PHOTOSHOP ALTERNATIVE THAT WENT FROM RESEARCH TO 170 USERS IN A DAY ~$2,000 in tokens. GPT-6 Astra for the plan. Then a grind loop until it actually worked. The process was brutal and simple: research every Photoshop feature, dump that into Astra for an architecture, critique the plan, get a first build that was usable but shaky, then sit in it. Find a bug. Send it back to the model. Use it again. Repeat. It launched for free at http://tenzen.studio/photon and picked up 170 active users on day one. Login broke at launch because everyone was getting counted as the same proxy IP. Codex patched the rate limit and shipped the fix in about five minutes. Highlights: • Built as a Photoshop-style editor through an agent loop, not a from-scratch human rewrite • Astra handled planning after a full feature research dump • Tight use → bug → model → use cycle until it stabilized • Day-one launch already pulling real users Doesn’t make sense if the only goal is skipping a subscription. Makes a lot of sense if the goal is “can an agent actually rebuild a creative tool people will open.” Who’s trying Photon on the next poster? 🔥
