Parchment

Electron-based painting software. (Currently testing technical feasibility to use electron as a base of graphics editing software.)

Gegl >= 0.3 (0.3 is recommended to work smoothly with libmypaint 1.3.0)
libmypaint >= 1.3
libinput (tested on 1.10.4) Read / write access must be permitted to /dev/input/event (devices for tablet).
