Granit is in Private Beta

What a joy to see the first users arrive after a year of work.

We are entering private beta for several weeks.

We hope to launch version 1.0 at the end of spring.

Until then, we need to gather feedback, see what users do with Granit, and adapt.

The sun is coming.

No Cropping. No Industrial Formatting.

At Granit: your media is respected. It's one of our top priorities. We've been obsessed with it for months, and it's non-negotiable. Your media are displayed exactly in their original format — whether small, medium, or large.

A square is a square, a 3:2 is a 3:2, and so on.

No cropping. No automatic layout that distorts your work.

I want to see my creations exactly as I envisioned them, thanks…

Jamais facile.

Surtout quand on n'est que deux.
Design, design, design, code, code, code, infra, infra, infra — pas de raccourcis.

On construit tout nous-mêmes : produit, stack, serveurs.
Parce que la souveraineté compte. La sécurité compte.
Chaque pixel, chaque ligne de code, chaque requête — on garde tout sous notre toit.

Des centaines d'itérations. Des nuits sans fin.
On casse, on reconstruit, on affine —…

500 Commits, One Small Step

Today, we hit a symbolic milestone in the Granit adventure: the 500th commit.

A commit is a stone added to the building. Every line of code, every adjustment, every reworked mockup, every idea tested contributes to building Granit.

The smooth ride is long gone.

The tests, the mistakes, the questions about infrastructure, the UX and design iterations, and the rollbacks — those horrible moments…

Granit est en beta privée

Quelle joie de voir les premiers utilisateurs arriver après un an de travail.

Nous rentrons en beta privée pendant plusieurs semaines.

Nous espérons lancer la 1.0 à la fin du printemps.

D'ici là, nous avons besoin de prendre des retours, de voir ce que font les utilisateurs avec Granit, de nous adapter.

Le soleil arrive.

Analog and Texture #1

These obsessions, ever since we started Granit with Selina...

Analog is a very important one.

  • How do we not neglect photographers who shoot on film?
  • How do we pay maximum attention to artists who work with non-digital materials?

On the film side, #Granit will build partnerships with studios and labs, and showcase, as it deserves, Art and Texture.

On the photography "challenge," before…

The Art of Composition

Assembling photos, texts, paintings, graphic design is nothing new.

Piling up media without really thinking doesn't make it a work of art.

It doesn't impact anything or anyone.

The difference between a random collage and a striking creation comes down to one word: composition. The invisible art...

Composition is invisible wayfinding.

On a screen as on a canvas, the viewer needs to be…

About "Granit Intelligence"

Granit is not yet another opportunistic AI-based solution. There are so many issues behind what we call Artificial Intelligence, but we are not opportunists — we are passionate.

Granit uses #Mistral AI. It makes sense for us to use Mistral, based in France, in Paris, and in Europe. Mistral does not train its models on the data we send it.

Today, we fully trust Mistral, which respects the basics…
