 # QMK HID Host
 
-Host component for communicating with QMK keyboards using Raw HID feature. Requires support on keyboard side, currently is supported by [stront](https://github.com/zzeneg/stront).
+Host component for communicating with QMK keyboards using Raw HID feature.

+Requires support on keyboard side, currently is supported by [stront](https://github.com/zzeneg/stront).
 
 ## Architecture
 
-Host contains two parts - server and adapters, which communicate between each other using [socket.io](https://socket.io). Server is a cross-platform application written in node.js, and adapters should be OS-specific to be able to use OS functions. Currently only Windows adapter written in C# exists.
+Application is written in Rust which gives easy access to HID libraries, low-level Windows APIs and potential cross-platform compatibility. Currently only Windows is supported, as I don't use other operating systems. Please feel free to raise any PRs with Linux/MacOS support.
