[Media] Rust paint app - fun color features

An update on Darkly.art, a paint program we're building in rust.

First off I want to say thanks to everyone who's helped out so far. We couldn't ask for better beta testers than the r/rust crowd and already you guys have submitted great bug reports, ideas, and PRs so thank you!

The most recent feature requests were Color Jitter and Stroke Editing, so those are the ones shown here.

Our compositor and brush engine are designed from scratch, which lets us add these kinds of features, and others like buttery stroke stabilization, with relative ease and without having to jerry rig the underlying engine. It also lets you do crazy stuff with no practical purpose, like mapping pen pressure to color hue ;P

I've had a lot of fun building this and excited to keep pushing it toward a true state-of-the-art (and free!) app for artists.
