Photopea creator accuses PhotoSuite of stealing 14 years of code
Photopea creator weighs in on Photosuite project
In a GitHub issue, Photopea's creator claims PhotoSuite is a copy-paste of his JavaScript code, pointing to identical parsing logic and property names. PhotoSuite's maintainer admits the project started from a Photopea mirror but says it's been rewritten module by module. Commenters note Photopea itself mimics Photoshop, while others defend PhotoSuite as a clean-room rewrite.
I can find a copy of every line of this "PhotoSuite" inside my own code, which existed years before PhotoSuite.
