Would love feedback on my new app Soleil Clusters

Hey everyone, I’m Tobe, co-founder of Soleil Clusters. I wanted to introduce myself and share a tool we’ve been building for artists.

What is Soleil Clusters?

Soleil Clusters is a creative workspace and moodboard tool for art, film, photo, and brand design. It brings your references, projects, and ideas into one place, so you’re not digging through screenshots, scattered folders, and browser tabs to find that one reference from three weeks ago. You can collaborate in real time on projects, whether you’re sharing a studio or working across different cities, and everything syncs live.

Every account also comes with 1TB of storage, so the heavy files can sit right next to your ideas: high-res reference images, photos of works in progress, sketches, color studies, and concept art, with room to keep every iteration instead of deleting old versions to free up space.

How artists can use it

  • Reference gathering: Collect anatomy studies, lighting setups, textures, and color references for a piece in one visual space, instead of across a dozen folders.

  • Planning a piece: Build a moodboard for a painting, illustration, or series, and pin down composition, palette, and tone before you start.

  • Tracking progress: Keep photos of your traditional work at each stage, or digital drafts and iterations, so you can see how a piece evolved.

  • Series and commissions: Give each series, client, or commission its own space, with references and revisions organized together.

  • Collaboration: Share boards with clients, art directors, or fellow artists and work in real time, with no more passing images back and forth.

  • Idea capture: Save inspiration the moment you spot it, then sort it into clusters later.

You can try it for free: https://clusters.soleilpictures.com

I’d love to hear how you currently collect references and organize your work, and what frustrates you about your tools. Your feedback directly shapes what we build next. Reply here or message me anytime.

Looking forward to being part of this community! :sun_with_face:

Hi There, I don’t know what to say about this … We usually review portfolios but not services, and it seems to me you are trying to promote your service. Your post must be reviewed the admins, and I am not what of them. They will have to be decide about your post!

Really hard to see what it is or how to use it if I have to give up my personal info and email to test something. Instant turn-off.

Is there no demo mode without signing up?

The first post from every new forum member is looked at and approved or rejected by the admins. The forum has a no-advertising policy, but we sometimes let things through if they’re applicable to graphic design, contain information that might be of interest to designers, and don’t appear to be bulk spam full of nonsense. We reject far more than we let through.

Exactly, I won’t sign up just to look at a demo. There’s really no reason to have this unless they’re collecting valid email addresses. I suppose I could sign up with a disposable address, but even if their intentions are good, it’s a real no-go step from a company that’s thrown up a red flag right at the beginning. I’m not in the habit of turning over valuable information to a store before they allow me to walk in and look at what they’re selling.
