Another voice of encouragement for the Affinity folks to develop a Lightroom replacement here. It does seem like the one major missing piece of the puzzle for many folks' workflow. I've got an overlapping thread, "indexing photo libraries", on this forum. So far, the best option for photo indexing I've found is a little open source app called DigiKam. The indexing features are excellent, and I've been finding it easy to use. The raw processing and photo merging are primitive, however, and some folks are having trouble installing it or running it. Now, if/when Affinity releases their version with  tight integration with the  three existing apps, life will be good.

I replaced for now my Lightroom with Darktable. Free and open source. I really love it.The learning curve is a bit rough, because a lot of possibilities to refine your images, but it does really a fantastic and professional work.
When Serif come up with a Lightroom replacement, it will be for me an instant buy. *cross fingers* Even when I like Darktable, but a working pipeline between Affinity products would be a big plus for me.

Question: 
is Affinity working on a Lightroom replacement ?
So far, you've done such a great job, it would be a blessing if you could create a Lightroom version as well. The combination of archiving and editing has become very important to me as a professional and I often hear the same from my colleagues. Maybe you are already working on a development ? THAT would be great ! 

The more people here speak out for an alternative, the more my hope increases that Affinity hears our requests and calls and begins with an implementation!
