+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.
+
+Since last newsletter, the editor has received the ability to select layers via
+the layer panel and by clicking or dragging a box selection in the
+viewport. Selected layers can be deleted, duplicated, and copy/pasted.
+
+It is now possible to create, edit, and close multiple documents in their own
+editor tabs. Additional frontend cleanup and polish has also improved many
+parts of the editor experience.
+
+Lastly, support for transforms was added to the layers and document, paving
+the way for moving/scaling/rotating layers and the whole document within the
+viewport.
+
+[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!
