Warning

This project is in early alpha and documentation-driven, which means the documentation will very probably be in advance on the code. This is because I strongly believe that while the code might disappear, what will stay is the concepts and the user experience attempted at in this project, and the notions covered in the documentation (including protocols’ and file formats descriptions).
