Why BriskLimbs

There aren't many open source video solutions out there. The ones that exist are mostly painful to deal with. The frustration of having to go back and forth with customer support, lack of documentation and having to figure things out yourself, claiming features that aren't even half built and lots of similiar issues is the reason why we created BriskLimbs.

We are focused on building this project in pursest sense of open source. We have the detremination to always put the community first and build things people actually want.
