Overloading names is frustrating…
I’m sure there are more…
I wanted to show a friend a picture of the graphite chemical structure (we were watching the series “Chernobyl”) and opened graphite.dev
How about “Graph? Aight.”
Don’t forget graph8
I wont forgive anyone that pronounces eight like graphite or pronounces graphitelike eight
Ok m8
this is allowed, unless you meant might
Looking forward to giving it a try. If it’s more user friendly than Inkscape and less costly than Illustrator, I’m in.
What do you not find user friendly about Inkscape? I only use it for trivial tasks so I’m curious to know how it falls short for more professional work.
Inkscape has features that only work with keyboard shortcuts
Inkscape has been very unstable for me. I can never use it for more than 30 minutes without running into bugs or crashing, so I just stopped using it a few months ago
Do you use the version that come with your distro? No issue with mine. I mean, I have the occasional one but nothing that would push me to stop using it.
Same for me use it professional and private. I think it hits 95% of what I do. Other than the trace tool I’m over illustrator.
I use arch so it’s usually up to date, and I’ve never had good luck with software so I probably just got unlucky a lot, also I’ve been using wayland since forever and apps just lave being incompatible with it
I use Mint, I have no idea if it is running Wayland or not ;)
I liked Arch a lot (it was the second distro I ever used) up until I realized I needed not constant updates and the most recent versions of my apps. So, I tried Debian and then Mint and never looked back.
Been a while since I’ve tried to use it for anything serious myself but recently I tried to just crop an SVG that had random extra empty space in its canvas and it was an adventure. I think I gave up after 20 minutes and gave it back to the designer who has an Illustrator license
I think it always depends on the workflow you “grew up” with. I for instance learned with Inkscape, so for my use cases Inkscape most of the time is a no-brainer.
Inkscape is a better vector application than Illustrator. User friendliness arguments tend to come from users raised on Adobe and expecting alternatives to work the same way.
I mean, sure, I learned with Adobe products, but I also think the UX in Photoshop is pretty annoying.
I’m not sure it’s that easy to determine which one is objectively the better app. There are too many subjective factors.

Rassismus
Or republic of serbia
It’s eother from serbia or, my guess, written in the rust programming language.
Edit: yeah, Github says 85% written in Rust. It’s that.
Yeah it’s generally a mark of “developed with Rust” which, as a Rust fanboy, usually leads to a great care on usability.
Can it make a circle?
Graphite is a free, open source vector and raster graphics editor, available now in alpha. Get creative with a fully nondestructive editing workflow that combines layer-based compositing with node-based generative design
sounds promising!
I always assumed GIMP was the answer to this question. Interested to see even more options out there. Great share, thanks!
