When we launched Aphera a few months ago, we put together the minimum viable version of the site — speed and shipping was important, and we were still honing in on how to say the things we wanted to.

Every day, a new photo editor hits social media: all are vibe-coded replicas/rips or hobbyist projects built with an LLM, released into the open source wild or awaiting a TestFlight or App Store approval.

Aphera began in earnest in early 2024 and we're almost three years into this.

Today, we launched a new site that we hope tells the story of the app, and us, better.
