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

    I’ve used inkscape to edit PDFs. It’s not perfect but it’s really good. I think it might not do the best job of recovering original objects (idk if that’s possible given how PDFs work), but it can show them as they render and you can modify those objects.
