This is almost 7 years old, but with Inkscape 1.0 a lot of these proposals are now part of its UI. The full mockup lower down the page [1] is essentially what Inkscape looks like for me when I open it up. [1]: https://rethinkscape.netlify.app/ https://rethinkscape.netlify.app/

  7 years old and lives on as promotional material for someone’s design consultancy. Not worthy of Hacker News IMHO.

    I was part of that project and I agree with you, I don't know how that came to HN, TBH. That same "design consultancy" (we're not that but I understand the confusion) decided instead to focus on creating Penpot (https://penpot.app https://penpot.app)

This is probably a better URL as it shows the proposed changes: https://rethinkscape.netlify.app/ https://rethinkscape.netlify.app/ The README says: NOTE This was an experimentation project from ΠWEEK. Is not active anymore. All redesign proposal can be sent to Inkscape Blueprints and will be reviewed by the Inkscape team.

Updating dependencies is a funny way to trick the casual reader into thinking this is more recent than it is.

I'd settle for zoom shortcuts working properly.

Hi, rethinkscape member here. This is superold news! We just wanted to bring back the nice landing for that experiment now we have launched Penpot. Wow, that escalated quickly (into HN). After that project, we approached Inkscape team and shared our work. They were truly enthusiastic about this but they had a ton of work still as top priority towards 1.0. That's fine, we use inkscape as one our everyday SVG tools at Kaleidos and Penpot.

  > They were truly enthusiastic about this but they had a ton of work still as top priority towards 1.0 Just curious, how many of Rethinkscape's UX/UI proposals was already implemented in Inkscape v1.x in comparison to Inkscape v0.9x?

    This should be answered by the Inkscape team. I'm sure some stuff was going to be included already...

      > This should be answered by the Inkscape team I mean, maybe you already see some features in Inkscape v1.0 release & v1.1 nightly builds which are came from Rethinkscape?
