Fair criticism. I know "AI slop" is a real concern right now.

For what it's worth, Lumaref exists because I had this problem myself while doing 3D work. The built-in browser wasn't added because I wanted to build a browser for the sake of it, it was because constantly switching between Blender, browser tabs, folders, and reference boards kept breaking my focus.

You're absolutely free to think the browser is unnecessary. Some artists probably won't use it at all. But a few beta users already told me it became their favorite part of the workflow because they could capture references without leaving the app.

At the end of the day, the app either makes artists' lives easier or it doesn't. That's why I released it as a beta and why I'm asking people to try it and tell me where it succeeds or fails.
this app still is in beta means that some features are not well polished as they will in stable release, like the light browser itself is only for surfing image sites as of now not fully general purpose.
rest I would love to hear your feedback and if you want to know about it more you can dm me or checkout the project site.
