This blog post was last updated on July 7, 2024 to fix the Android section.

This blog post quotes an excellent video I got shared by a friend, which thoroughly debunks why performance improvements should not be allowed in production applications.

This blog post explains the rationale behind the new G’MIC-Qt plugin we ship as part of Krita 5, and how to build and package it.

It has also been published as the new README.packagers.md in the Krita repo.

This blog post draws on my experience adding reading and writing support for our app, and is intended to clarify the ambiguities in the official standard.

Hi again, everyone! This is the final post for this series, in which I’ll show you how to set Krita up in Visual Studio Code. For this post, we’ll cover the Windows operating system. I’ll show you how to take advantage of the same build scripts maintainers use for building the Windows releases.

Hi again! This is the second installment of this series. Today’s post will cover how to set Krita up in Visual Studio Code, under macOS. I’ll show you how to take advantage of the same build scripts Iván and Boudewijn use for building the Mac releases.

Hi all! As part of our Community Bonding period, I wanted to share my experience setting up a development environment for Krita. We already have David Revoy’s post and the official, updated documentation. However, they only cover the setup process in Linux.

I’ll show you how to set Krita up in Visual Studio Code, under the three major desktop OSes: Linux, Windows, and macOS. For the latter two, I’ll show you how to use the same build scripts maintainers use for building the releases. We’ll take advantage of Visual Studio Code’s Tasks, so you do the hard work once, and then you’ll be able to compile dependencies AND run Krita in a few keystrokes!

Today’s post will tell you how to set Visual Studio Code up in Linux.
