+
+Graphite ([website][graphite-website], [GitHub][graphite-repo],
+[Discord][graphite-discord], [Twitter][graphite-twitter]) is a free,
+in-development raster and vector 2D graphics editor based around a Rust-powered
+node graph compositing engine.
+
+April's [sprint 25][graphite-sprint-25] developments:
+
+- Brushing up: The new Brush tool makes it possible to paint raster-based art.
+- Writing down: A refactor of the Text tool integrates typographic content in
+  the node graph. Finally, all artwork types are node-based.
+- Showing true colors: Node graph compositing now uses linear, not gamma,
+  color. Key new color adjustment nodes are added.
+- Laying the groundwork: Further engineering work prepares the node graph
+  language for GPU execution. And development continues toward in-graph layer
+  stack compositing.
+
+As always, new contributors are cordially invited to
+[get involved][graphite-contribute] and take on
+[approachable issues][graphite-approachable-issues] with help from the
+project's friendly and supportive developer community on Discord.
