Graphite (Rusty FOSS 2D graphics editor) year in review and preview of 2025 (graphite.rs)

Graphite is a 2D graphics editor written in Rust aiming to develop into the go-to alternative to Gimp and Inkscape. Right now it's a vector graphics editor and in 2025 will be growing into a raster editor for photo processing and image manipulation. Its unique feature is the node graph which gives more control over content creation and rendering, turning your artwork layers into fully-fledged programmatic systems that can operate on dynamic data.

Graphite made the top of Show HN in mid October so you may be familiar from that post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41853810

This post now summaries our year growing and maturing the editor throughout 2024 and covers our plans for 2025, which I believe will be the year it really takes off.
