One caveat: LightCraft is still in alpha, so it isn't yet a full replacement for every Lightroom workflow.
But an open-source photo editor designed for both humans and AI agents?
That's worth watching.

这个Github仓库太强了！
不用摄像头，一块最低 9 美元的 ESP32，靠 WiFi 信号就能看出屋里有没有人，还能测呼吸和心率！
这个仓库叫 RuView，作者是 ruvnet，MIT 协议开源，现在 GitHub 上已经有约 9.7 万 Star。
仓库地址：ruvnet/RuView
原理是这样的：路由器发出的 WiFi 信号，会被房间里的人挡一下、扰一下。ESP32 传感器读取这种信号变化（叫 CSI），再用模型分析出屋里发生了什么。
README 里写的能力有这几类：
1、有没有人、有几个人，隔墙也行，不用拍画面
2、呼吸和心率，睡觉或坐着时也能测
3、走路、坐下、摔倒这类动作
4、不用摄像头，估计 17 个人体关键点
5、整晚睡眠监测
接入智能家居也做了：Home Assistant 加一个 --mqtt 参数就能接，Apple Home、Google Home、Alexa 走 Matter 或同一个桥。
每个节点会给出 21 个状态，比如有人在睡觉、老人长时间不动、厕所有人、可能摔倒等。整套跑在本地，不需要云，也不需要联网，非常便捷实用。x.com

I never used Photoshop that much, but I used to be well versed with Lightroom. So I tried Lightcraft[1] which is their Lightroom clone, and I was disappointed after all that hype. I couldn't get any of my photos to look nice, using the workflows I was used to from Lightroom. It felt cheap, unfinished, and barely usable, also compared to the open source Lightroom alternatives that have been around for a while (e.g. Rawtherapee). I'm willing to change my mind in the future, but at the moment, I don't really get the hype.
