Not my cup of tea.
Software built this way should not come with a 7 day trial and a 50 dollar price tag. It should either be free to test until it becomes reasonably usable, or offer a much longer trial period, around 30 to 60 days, depending on how quickly the bugs are addressed. You cannot expect people to pay 60+ dollars for something this unfinished.
I have nothing against vibecoding itself, but I do take issue with tools that are rushed out, quickly put together with AI, and then sold at a relatively high price. This is especially hard to justify when tools like Siril are essentially free and continue to receive updates.
For example, this is supposedly an “auto stretched” result from a TIFF taken with a Vespera 2:
Comparing it to Siril’s auto stretch makes the difference obvious. Beyond that, the software is buggy, and even the translation is incomplete, with languages mixed together. The language is set to English, yet part of the interface is still in German. It makes no sense.
At this stage, this should not be a paid tool. I have come across several other bugs that are difficult to excuse for software being sold at this price.
These issues should have been properly tested and resolved before even considering charging this much for an astrophotography tool built via AI.
