-The REV Hub Interface is a piece of software allowing for a direct connection from a REV Expansion Hub and its peripherals to a PC. 
+The Community Edition of REV Hub Interface is a Community run fork of the REV hub interface, with a focus on making it the best tool it can be for First Tech Challenge teams. The Community Edition REV Hub Interface allows you to manually control an Expansion Hub from your computer, which is great for prototyping mechanisms in realistic conditions. Originally, it was simply a port of REV's release to Linux and MacOS, however, it has since grown greatly with a more modern UI, more control features, and a backend overhaul making everything more responsive and accurate.
 
-This interface provides a method for teams to prototype with motors, servos, and sensors in a way that is faster and easier than setting up an entire robot control system. It is also a valuable troubleshooting tool that can help isolate the cause of an issue and determine if it is electrical or software related. The REV Hub Firmware can also be updated and recovered through this interface in addition to the Robot Controller Application.

 Start by downloading the latest version of the software from [the Releases page](https://github.com/unofficial-rev-port/REVHubInterface/releases).  
-An `.exe` is provided for Windows systems, a Flatpak and binary for Linux systems, and a `.DMG` for macOS.
-Linux users can also [download from Flathub here](https://flathub.org/apps/org.unofficialrevport.REVHubInterface).

 Alternately, you can download it from PyPi:
 
 1. Install Python 3
 2. Run `pip install REVHubInterface` to install
 3. Finally, run `python3 -m REVHubInterface` to run the app (it should also be runnable as `revhubinterface`)

 2. Reboot

-- Windows: The newest versions of Windows should automatically install the required USB drivers. Alternatively, you can download the latest drivers from the [FTDI VCP website](https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm).
-- Linux: The latest `libftdi` is provided in the Flatpak.  If installing via PyPI instead, you will need to install `libftdi` yourself.  On Ubuntu and derivitaves, this can be installed with `sudo apt install libftdi1`.  The package name may be similar on other distributions.
-- macOS: (TODO: figure out; `brew install libftdi` doesn't seem to make the error go away. UPDATE: https://github.com/lsgunth/pyft232/pull/22 is merged but not yet published, in the mean time we should manually apply the change in our releases that have the library bundled.  Also, should we bundle `libftdi1.dylib` and its dependencies, or request users install it via Homebrew themselves?

-### PyPi
-PyPi builds *should* be automated by simply updating the trigger-actions branch, however, if you want to do it manually:
-
-1. Install build (`pip install build`) and twine (`pip install twine`)
-2. Create a Github release with a tag with the proper version number (if you want a dev release just skip this step; see https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/version-specifiers/ for proper version numbering)
-3. Run `python3 -m build `
-4. Run `twine upload dist/*`
-
-You may want to setup an API key for easier login, see https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/pypirc/#using-a-pypi-token
-
-### Pyinstaller
-Pyinstaller builds should be automated by pushing to the trigger-actions branch and binaries should be available in the actions tab.  However, if you'd prefer to build from source:
-
-1. Install PyInstaller (`pip install pyinstaller` or it may be present in a distro repository)
-2. Run `pyinstaller REVHubInterface.spec`
-3. The binary should be available in the `dist` folder

-### Flatpak
