+This branch is *very much* under construction. There's a 99% chance that hyperglass will not function at all if you download and install from this branch. If you're looking for a working version of hyperglass, **please go to the [master branch](https://github.com/checktheroads/hyperglass/tree/master)**.

--   This project originally started as a fork of [vraulsan](https://github.com/vraulsan)'s [looking-glass](https://github.com/vraulsan/looking-glass) project. The guts of the Flask components still remain from that project, but almost everything else has been rewritten. Nevertheless, the inspiration for building hyperglass came from here.
