+Graphite ([website][graphite-website], [GitHub][graphite-repo],
+[Discord][graphite-discord], [Twitter][graphite-twitter]) is a free,
+in-development raster and vector 2D graphics editor based around a Rust-powered
+node graph compositing engine.
+
+New features from January's [sprint 22][graphite-sprint-22]:
+
+- _Picture This:_ Imported images are now part of the node graph. The new
+  _Image Frame_ node converts bitmap data into a vector rectangle holding the
+  image. This paves the way for other vector data like shapes and text to soon
+  be converted into nodes and composited alongside images.
+- _Instant Iterations:_ Incremental graph compilation avoids recompiling the
+  whole graph each time an edit is made or a value changes. This makes
+  iteration faster and enables caching of intermediate computations for faster
+  rendering.
+
+Later this month, the Alpha Milestone 2 release will launch with new node graph
+features, a revamped website, and a wider-reaching project announcement. Join
+the [newsletter][graphite-newsletter] and stay tuned.
