Developing a modern, open source photo editor - Testers needed

Software
1

For the past month, I have been working on Sly, a cross-platform photo editor with a focus on usability. I have recently released it on Linux. I am now seeking testers for the Android version and it has been suggested to me to announce it here ^^

At the moment, there are key features missing for professional work, namely support for RAW images outside of Apple platforms (since those have native decoders), editing in color spaces wider than sRGB, and batch processing. For quick edits however, it should hopefully work quite well. These features are also planned for later versions.

The app was made for a similar workflow to eg. the modern Adobe Lightroom, with a simple and direct UI without distractions.

If you would like to be invited to the closed test on Google Play, you can message me with the email address for your Google account. (This is necessary to get invited, I wish it wasn’t!)

Looks very interesting. Would it be possible to get an AppImage in addition to the Flatpak?

For cross-platform raw support, LibRaw is probably your best bet.

Officially, I’d rather not. But if someone else wants to package it, sure. It should be pretty easy with Flutter.

Yeah, I’d have to generate Dart bindings for it, which I don’t have any experience with.

Tried running both the Flatpak and release binary, but only get a transparent frame without even window decorations. I’m on Arch Linux.
