The author reflects on past projects as a creative developer and introduces a new series called “That time I,” starting with a project recreating Photoshop in C++ and Windows API. The project began as a desire to create a better manga reader and evolved into an image editor called Fedit, following a set of user-friendly rules. Despite challenges and exhaustive work hours, the project was a success, leading to positive reviews and new job opportunities. The author’s dedication paid off, and the source code and documentation for the projects are available for exploration.
