+[Graphite][graphite-website] ([GitHub][graphite-repo],
+[Discord][graphite-discord], [Twitter][graphite-twitter]) is an in-development
+raster and vector 2D graphics editor that is free and open source. It is
+powered by a node graph compositing engine that supercharges your layer stack,
+providing a completely non-destructive editing experience.
+
+The team is proud and excited to announce Graphite alpha, the minimum viable
+product release for a web-based vector graphics editor. After one year in
+pre-alpha development by Rust Gamedev community members, this first milestone
+of alpha is here.
+
+Graphite alpha launches **Saturday, February 12** together with a new
+[project website][graphite-website].
+
+Work now commences on the second alpha milestone, focused on building the node
+graph system and vector render engine. You are invited to join the team and
+help make this exciting endeavor possible. [Join the Discord][graphite-discord]
+and get involved!

+reach 1000⭐!
