_Piet Mondrian's artwork replicated in Graphite using the new color picker_

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
