What is Fabric.js?
Fabric.js is building direct-manipulation editing controls and hardening its supply chain
Since Fabric 7.0 shipped in December 2025 the releases have followed two consistent threads. One is canvas editing capability: a cropping controls extension in 7.1, follow-ups in 7.2, then edge resize and flip support plus gradient controls in 7.3. The other is build and supply-chain work — the bundler moved from Rollup to Rolldown, workflow permissions and dependencies were pinned for OSSF scorecard hardening, the vulnerability reporting process was revised, and 7.4.0 fixes a CVE.
What is Kittl?
Kittl is rebuilding its design tool around AI that decides for you.
Kittl shipped AI Workflows — hundreds of prepackaged AI flows aimed at eliminating the prompt-adjust-regenerate cycle that burns credits — after launching Agentic AI, which takes over prompt, model, format, and style decisions, and Apps, a panel that pulls Pinterest, Dropbox, Printful, and other tools into the canvas. Earlier weekly releases added consistent characters and human faces in AI video, an Edit Area for targeted image fixes, and brand asset reuse.

Fabric.js is building direct-manipulation editing controls and hardening its supply chain
◆ Current state
Since Fabric 7.0 shipped in December 2025 the releases have followed two consistent threads. One is canvas editing capability: a cropping controls extension in 7.1, follow-ups in 7.2, then edge resize and flip support plus gradient controls in 7.3. The other is build and supply-chain work — the bundler moved from Rollup to Rolldown, workflow permissions and dependencies were pinned for OSSF scorecard hardening, the vulnerability reporting process was revised, and 7.4.0 fixes a CVE.
◆ Where it's heading
Fabric is closing the gap between being a canvas rendering library and being the substrate for an image editor, and it is doing so through extensions rather than core API changes. The security posture work running alongside is unusually deliberate for a project this size, and reads as a response to being a widely embedded dependency: pinned CI, tightened permissions, a documented disclosure process, then a CVE fixed and announced at the top of a release.
◆ Prediction
Expect the controls extensions to keep accumulating editor affordances in the same pattern, and the scorecard and dependency-pinning work to continue as background maintenance on every release.
Kittl
7.5DESIGN
Kittl is rebuilding its design tool around AI that decides for you.
◆ Current state
Kittl shipped AI Workflows — hundreds of prepackaged AI flows aimed at eliminating the prompt-adjust-regenerate cycle that burns credits — after launching Agentic AI, which takes over prompt, model, format, and style decisions, and Apps, a panel that pulls Pinterest, Dropbox, Printful, and other tools into the canvas. Earlier weekly releases added consistent characters and human faces in AI video, an Edit Area for targeted image fixes, and brand asset reuse.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line is removing decisions from the user. Agentic AI took the model and prompt choices, AI Workflows takes the trial-and-error, and Apps removes the tab-switching between design, assets, and print-on-demand fulfillment. Kittl is positioning as the single surface where a print-on-demand seller goes from idea to sellable product, and the weekly release notes read as steady infill under those three larger moves.
◆ Prediction
Expect the workflow catalog to expand toward end-to-end commerce flows given Apps already connects fulfillment, and for the video work to keep absorbing the consistency problems that broke it before. The entries do not indicate how credits are priced against the new flows.
