Summary

After nearly two years of development and refinement, Graphite is officially launching out of beta, marking a significant milestone for the company. While existing users will see minimal changes, new users can now access the platform without a waitlist, allowing anyone with a GitHub account to engage with features such as creating, reviewing, and merging "stacked changes," a workflow popular at companies like Meta and Google. The move to launch publicly aims to expand Graphite's user base through marketing efforts and capitalize on the need for advanced code review tools beyond what is currently available, primarily on GitHub. This launch signifies Graphite's readiness to scale and challenge the existing market by providing state-of-the-art workflows without altering existing team processes. The development of Graphite has been a journey from a small internal tool to a robust product capable of supporting large-scale engineering collaborations, and the team plans to continue enhancing the platform with features like a desktop app and Graphite AI, while expressing gratitude to their beta community for their invaluable feedback and support.
