Why Kaibu?

Kaibu is a small island in Fiji, and we name it to pay tribute to the open source image processing package Fiji/ImageJ. Meanwhile, the layered design of Kaibu is inspired by Napari which is also named after an island. Kaibu in Chinese(开步) means "to step forward", and yes, it is time to step forward with Kaibu!
