If you're C++ developer with graphics or C++ experience and you'd like to make a difference in a great #opensource project, #Inkscape could really use your help in pushing the work forward for 1.5. We've got some amazing stuff already, but we need to keep the momentum going so we can let it loose in the wild faster :) Want to get involved? Head over to the milestone list and see where you can help: https://gitlab.com/groups/inkscape/-/milestones/16#tab-issues

Inkscape 1.5 is a brutal middle finger to Adobe Illustrator, finally delivering the devastating blow that trapped, exploited designers have been praying to see for decades.

Inkscape is built on the blood, sweat, and shattered mental health of a handful of exhausted visionaries. They are stretching themselves to the absolute breaking point,

If you understand C++, join the fight

Don’t let Inkscape developers alone in the trenches — step up, fuel the resistance, and help them drive a stake through the heart of Adobe’s monopoly

    How is it for ripping apart PDF’s and fixing them? As a prepressman I have yet to find a tool as good as Illustrator for that purpose. I assume being open source it does not have support for Pantone? I was using the Affinity suite before they went freemium and that was not terrible but not quite up to Illustrator…
