?makers I have a question: Do all team members need to be using Graphite as well? Or can a single person be using it and still see benefits?
Carissa Jansen
@mrmartineau Not everyone has to be using Graphite! Graphite syncs seamlessly to Github so your team members can continue using their preferred workflow, and you as an author can unblock your development with stacks. That said, Graphite is more fun with your team :)
Jacob Gold
@mrmartineau I think once you have a few folks on your team using Graphite, everyone else will want in! To help out your coworkers who aren't on it yet, Graphite automatically keeps a comment up to date on GitHub that shows the other pull requests in your stack. We also have a Chrome extension that adds a few enhancements to the GitHub page.

I can't say enough positive things about Graphite. It keeps me and my team unblocked by decoupling work from reviews, which means our reviews are more thorough, and we're not bugging each other for reviews constantly, breaking flow. Their community Slack is active and the team is super responsive to feedback. Honestly, they're doing everything right. Graphite has saved me literal days of time over the last year, and I'm so happy it's finally out of beta for the world to see.

@ben_jaffe1 Thanks for the support! Your thoughtful feedback has helped make the product so much better 🙌
Sergiu Chiriac
Really amazing and useful tool. Wish you the best!!
Carissa Jansen
@sergiu_chiriac Thank you so much! Glad you're finding Graphite valuable at PoweredbyAI
Carl Brenner
Really nice! 🔥 It sounds like this will be helpful when the dev team gets larger.
Tomas Reimers
@carlbrenner Thank you so much for your support :) Some of our most active teams only have ~5 developers on them and still find Graphite really helpful!
Carl Brenner
@tomasreimers Thanks for the info Tomas! It might be interesting to try it soon :)

I’m incredibly excited for this launch, this is a game changer for devs and accelerates timelines to ship code. What features are next on the Graphite roadmap?
Jacob Gold
@conor_brennan_burke1 In addition to what Pranathi mentioned, some of the local features we're working on for the CLI and VS Code extension are: - Continually improving the experience around collaborating on stacks with your coworkers - A new command to automatically apply staged changes to the right branches in your stack without having to check each one out (ever heard of `hg absorb`?) - An undo command - More updates to the VSCode extension to make the transition from editing code to creating and updating your stack even smoother - Automated syncing Any of these sound particularly exciting?
Carl Gao
Stacking code changes has been such a game changer that I wouldn't even consider working at a company where this developer workflow doesn't exist. Code reviewing without Graphite is like code reviewing with a typewriter instead of a computer. If you want to 1. multiply developer velocity 2. attract the best technical talent, use Graphite.
Jacob Gold
@carlgao Number 2 is so important! I always tell people the reason I'm so convicted that Graphite will succeed is because I know I'd absolutely NEED it anywhere else!!!
Philipp Ronnenberg
Congratulations on the launch. This looks incredible to me, will give it a try!
Merrill Lutsky
@pronnenberg excited to hear what you think!
Manish Tyagi
This is super awesome, congrats to the whole Graphite team!!
Tomas Reimers
@manishtyagi Thank you so much!

@manishtyagi thank you so much for your support!

I've been using graphite for 2 years in beta and I love it. The progress in the UI and CLI are never ending. It is a pleasure to work with this!
Greg Foster
@dodolab Thank you so much for the support over the years! You're a friendly face in our community slack - please keep the feedback coming, and we'll keep working our hardest to create your favorite dev tool

Since leaving a big tech co, I have been looking for a good stacked diff workflow. There's spr, there are home grown bash scripts, but all of them feel a little janky. All of them make me wonder "were stacked diffs actually as good as I remember?" Graphite answers that question with a resounding yes and provides some other great features besides.
Merrill Lutsky
@wrhall appreciate the kind words - we're excited to bring the magic of stacked diffs to every engineer!
