### [Graphite][graphite-website]

![Graphite](graphite.png)

Graphite ([website][graphite-website], [GitHub][graphite-repo],
[Discord][graphite-discord], [Twitter][graphite-twitter]) is a free
in-development raster and vector 2D graphics editor. It will be powered by a
node graph compositing engine that supercharges your layer stack, providing a
completely non-destructive editing experience.

The past month's Sprint 14 has focused on further editor features and UX
improvements:

- **It's your type:** The Text tool now provides over 1400 fonts with
bold/italic styles from the Google Fonts library.

- **Oh snap!:** A refactor and polish pass on the snapping system provides
better clarity and consistency. And shapes now have outlines on hover and
selection for easier targeting.

- **Have a dialog:** Supported by a refactor that moved dialog layouts into the
Rust backend, users can now create new documents of specified sizes and export
artwork as PNG/JPG with new File menu dialogs.

- **Pack it up:** The web component of the stack was finally upgraded to
Webpack 5 which cleans up a mess of outdated dependencies.
