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.
It is easy to get started with BriskLimbs no matter if you are a developer or a webmaster with no technical knowledge.
