-Helmer Micro is a commercial open source (COSS) cross-platform GIF recorder. It is written in Typescript and Rust, using the awesome desktop app framework [Tauri](https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri), our high-performance capture engine [scap](https://github.com/helmerapp/scap) and the fabulous encoder, [Gifski](https://github.com/ImageOptim/gifski).

 ## Motivation
 
-GIFs are clearly the internet's favourite file format, but notoriously hard to create. We wanted to create a small tool that allows easy, effortless creation of GIFs and share it with as many people as possible!

-In addition to our small mission, this project also stands for 2 things:
+GIFs are clearly the internet's favourite file format, but notoriously hard to create. We wanted to create a small tool to allows easy and effortless creation of GIFs, and share it with everyone!
 
-1. an example of how to use our library [scap](https://github.com/helmerapp/scap) and
-2. show that open-source software can (and should!) be beautifully designed!
+Alongside our small mission, this project also stands for two more things:
+1. a demo project for our library [scap](https://github.com/helmerapp/scap) and
+2. show that open-source apps can (and should) be beautifully designed!
 
 ## COSS?
 
-Yup, Commercial Open-source Software! Many of the libraries and tools we make are kept up-to-date and made available to everyone though Github and other platforms. We believe in operating with full transparency, building alongside our community and support our peer OSS projects along the way. This way, everyone benefits instead of running circles within walled gardens.

-If you benefit from our work, we request that you buy a license via [our website](https://www.helmer.app/micro). This commercialization allows us to become sustainable and also creates a symbiosis between OSS and its proprietary license counterpart — a credible new way of funding our work and experiments!
