 ## Crates (actively developed)
 
 These crates are under active development.
 
  - [`xilem`][xilem] - An experimental Rust architecture for reactive UI.
 
-   Xilem is a new UI toolkit with a medium-grained reactive architecture strongly inspired by SwiftUI. It is an evolution of Druid, aiming to keep what is good while improving on Druid's shortcomings.
+   Xilem is a UI toolkit with a medium-grained reactive architecture strongly inspired by SwiftUI.
+   It is currently in a pre-alpha state, with several significant issues, but is improving rapidly.
 
- - [`vello`][vello] - An experimental GPU compute-centric 2D renderer.
+ - [`masonry`][masonry] - A foundational framework for Rust GUI libraries.
 
-   This crate contains a set of compute shaders and a framework for rasterizing 2D
-   geometry on the GPU. The goal is high performance, low resource usage and easy
-   interoperability between platforms.
+   Masonry is an evolution of Druid, designed to be driven by a higher-level UI toolkits.
+   It is currently used to power Xilem, but is designed to be usable by other libraries as well.
 
- - [`glazier`][glazier] - An experimental windowing library.
+ - [`vello`][vello] - An experimental GPU compute-centric 2D renderer.
 
-   This crate provides access to the platform API, in order to create windows and contexts to draw to, and to feed platform events like keypresses and mouse/touch events into an application. It serves a similar purpose to [`winit`][winit], and indeed either `winit` or `glazier` can be used as the windowing layer with `vello`. It exists because our requirements for Xilem slightly differ from the goals of `winit`: we want to optimize for rich desktop applications, including things like menus, contrasted to `winit` which is more focused on fully custom drawn applications like games.
+   Vello is an experimental 2D graphics rendering engine written in Rust, with a focus on GPU compute.
+   It can draw large 2D scenes with interactive or near-interactive performance, using [`wgpu`][wgpu] for GPU access.
 
  - [`kurbo`][kurbo] - A library for creating, manipulating and interrogating 2D curve shapes.

+## Archived projects
+
+ - [`glazier`][glazier] - A windowing library.
+
+   Glazier was created due to limitations with [`winit`][winit], however we have since decided to work together with the `winit` team to resolve those issues.
+   We now recommend the use of `winit` over Glazier.
