A free, offline Photoshop alternative (desktop app) that the founder shared via Reddit and Twitter and provided a download link.
Problem it solves. Provides an offline, free alternative to Photoshop for users who want image editing without Adobe.
Who pays. people who need a free offline image editor (designers, hobbyists, creators)
Market. consumer image editing / creative tools
How it makes money. none planned (author says not going to monetize; might monetize a future product)
The post describes an actual downloadable product with specific traction (5k users, 30k visitors, viral reposts) and commenters ask for details but do not convincingly debunk the claims; the author responded with numbers and a download link (though the link itself was not provided in the post content here).
“i think this post also would explode. where did you get that 5M views on twitter or reddit?” ▲ 30
“800k on reddit, 5m on twitter and still counting” ▲ 20
“$0 marketing spend and one post getting 100 reposts and 5M views on Twitter aren't the same thing, that's still a distribution event, it's just not a paid one, and it's not repeatable on demand.” ▲ 25
