Interesting... but I see no information about react/graphql use to code this photoshop plugin!!! THAT would be really interesting. Is the source code available anywhere? Is this plugin a "standard" C++ plugin with a browser built-in loaded with react/graqhql?

Extensions like this are built on Adobe CEP technology. CEP itself is built on top of CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) and Node.js. Since the web view is Chromium, you can use your favorite JavaScript frameworks and libraries to build the extension.

We just released CEP 8.0 last week, which updates to CEF 57 and Node.js 7.4.4.

More info on CEP here: https://www.adobe.io/apis/creativecloud/cep.html

And we have a GitHub org with libraries and samples here: https://github.com/adobe-CEP/

It's built on top of Adobe CEP runtime - https://github.com/Adobe-CEP Extensions are loaded into applications through the PlugPlug Library architecture. With CEP 4.0, HTML/JavaScript technology can be used to for these extensions.

The actual app is a standard web app based on React that connects to a GraphQL server.
