I'm excited to announce DarkRoom - The Open Source Alternative to Adobe LightRoom

Hello Everyone I've been hard at work building a new app to replace Adobe Lightroom in my release workflow. Adobe Lightroom is critical for me for reordering and keeping my image sets organized. So now im super happy to show my new replacement I call - Darkroom Inspired by old photography darkrooms for curing film!

While I cant do EVERYTHING that Lightroom can do like AI Remove - useful for getting rid of background artifacts often seen in AI Images at high resolutions. It does have enough of the features that are most important for me! Took a few Days and a lot of headaches as I have never coded with HTML and CSS but it was a great project that Im extremely proud of. Runs off Bun.js for really fast operations, which makes its extremely lightweight, ComfyUI Integrations as well for grabbing your images for rapid image management and importing, and best of all it can run right inside of a Cloud directory in your File Explorer so you can use your favorite Cloud Saving programs like Gdrive, Proton, etc.

It can Also look at metadata, so if you made a masterpiece but forgot the prompts well you can see it (prompt not shown below, not leaking my stuff ;P)

Originally this was going to be a tool for creating batch prompts for making my images sets, but instead i just made a simple script, I kept it in as a placeholder for something else. Maybe Ill hook it to ComfyUI So it can be used to send prompts and settings to generate images/videos with ComfyUI, but that will be a MASSIVE amount of work. So yea....

Overall im super excited to get this to be released for a public release, while it wont be today as i need to make sure its more user friendly and having proper documentation and more overall polish. But as someone with very little to no experience with coding its incredible how far you can do if you put your mind to it and learn how to utilize Claude/Gemini/Grok to make something all own your own!
