Motive & Vision
Though internet is available nearly everywhere, what happens, when, say, it drops for a week?
What happens if power is gone for a week?
You lose access to all the content within the internet; novels, tv shows, movies.
With the popularity of subscription services and licensing, more and more content is being hosted entirely online, without the ability to download or archive it.
This is also a huge problem within the software and gaming industries as a whole;
a large reliance on online drm has ruined offline gaming and productivity.
The goal here is to provide a solution related to online media, when there's no internet.
We want to ship a lightweight and expandable executable via NimScript,
which will allow you to download and store media locally from, virtually, any site with a bit of work.
If you share our vision, feel free to head over to [ADLCore](https://github.com/vrienstudios/ADLCore), the backbone of this project. Or, feel free to contribute here too.
