Graphite ([GitHub][graphite-repo], [Discord][graphite-discord],
[Twitter](https://twitter.com/GraphiteEditor)) is an in-progress vector and
raster graphics editor built on a nondestructive node-based workflow.

The team has grown from 1 to 5 in the past month and major progress was made
building core architectural Rust code. A large accomplishment was designing the
[software architecture diagram][graphite-architecture].

The current editor now has functional Select, Rectangle, and Ellipse tools
thanks to the newly-added tool state machine and SVG viewport drawing. The UI
now also implements tool-related icons and buttons, bringing it closer to
parity with the design mockup. The team also set up a Web/Rust-WASM build
system, GitHub CI to confirm PRs compile, and put together
[starter documentation][graphite-docs] for the codebase, UX design, and manual.

Graphite is making rapid progress towards becoming a nondestructive, procedural
graphics editor suitable of replacing traditional 2D DCC applications. Please
[join the Discord][graphite-discord]— and consider asking for a tour of the
code and how you can help!
