Motivation

As developers of production software we found ourselves in a position of rebuilding tools with similar functionality and core features time and time again. Bridge is an experiment for a collection of core tools and a platform for plugins that enables reuse of the tools we build. Not only does it encourage a mix-and-match mindset where operators can choose from a selection of already built components, it cuts down on development time and enforces stability.

Features

• [ ] Core features are bundled (rundown, default types, timeline e.t.c.)
• [ ] Can be run both as a desktop app and a cloud deployment
• [ ] Can be used by many operators simultaneously with real time sync
• [ ] A fully customizable grid layout

Full documentation and API

The full documentation is hosted in this repository under the docs directory. Whether you want to build your own extension or learn more about the internal structure of Bridge - that's probably where you should head to start your journey.

Security

Always keep an eye open when interacting with third party code. As a general rule, never run code you don't trust. This includes third party plugins as they have a great amount of access when running on your computer or server.
