+Graphite ([GitHub][graphite-repo], [Discord][graphite-discord],
+[Twitter](https://twitter.com/GraphiteEditor)) is an in-development vector and
+raster graphics editor built on a nondestructive node-based workflow.
+
+In the past month, new frontend features have mostly closed the gap for a
+visually-complete UI while a major Rust backend refactor took place.
+
+A new frontend system for floating menus was added to draw menus over the UI,
+like dropdown menu input widgets and popovers to display the new color picker.
+Also the application menu bar was built with working buttons for the new Undo
+and Export SVG actions.
+
+A large refactor in the Rust backend created a simpler communication strategy
+between all components in the software stack and a standard method of handling
+user inputs.
+
+[Try it right now in your browser.][graphite-live-demo] Graphite is making
+rapid progress towards becoming a nondestructive, procedural graphics editor
+suitable of replacing traditional 2D DCC applications. Please

+code and how you can help!
