-This is a NextJS starter in Firebase Studio.
+Vivid CDN is a modern, high-performance content delivery network built with Next.js. It provides robust file upload, storage, and serving capabilities, designed for efficient content management and delivery.
 
-To get started, take a look at src/app/page.tsx.
