Chataigne what ?
Philosophy
Chataigne is a free, open-source software made with one goal in mind : create a common tool for artists, technicians and developers who wish to use technology and synchronize software for shows, interactive installations or prototyping.
It aims to be as simple as possible for basic interactions, but can be easily extended to create complex interactions.
Chataigne is under the GPL3 license, you can find the sources on github
Okay, but what does it do exactly ?
While Chataigne won't do much by itself, its purpose is to be the central hub in a project involving multiple interfaces, software, devices and sensors. You can see it as a Conductor, which will control all the software with the big picture in mind. Chataigne has been designed to fit both linear shows and realtime/interactive project needs.

Chataigne is made with a lot of Love. But as you all know, love takes time, and time can be hard to find ! I chose not to make this software paying so everybody can enjoy it and feel free to create without any money constraint. This means that I rely on the good faith of users to pay for this project what they think is right for their use of it, and remember than even 1$/month (so 12$ a year) is really important to me, it shows support and gets me motivated to keep improving it !
