Photon Designer - Alpha released 🚢 

I’ve released the Photon Designer alpha.

I’ve sent the first alpha invites out and already received some very useful comments from a small group of people (Thanks Neek, Rob, Hans, Zach, and Kinn in particular! 🙂).

I’m implementing all the ideas I’ve received so far.
