A quick introduction to explain What is VIA is needed #16

Hi guys, I was visiting the page, and I didn't find any text explaining what is VIA. The main 3 links are for download, check compatibility and see the docs, but in the docs it doesn't explain what this is ! Can someone add a quick explanation for the lost souls ? Not everyone that comes here are experts. I bought a Lily58 and the guy that built it for me said "go to VIA page", and came here but I don't understand if this is an alternative to QMK, or an interface for QMK, or what ? Some help for the next person that comes to the website would be very warm and appreciated !

Had no idea what via was. Ended up finding https://keyboard.university/guides/using-via-configurator which clarified things a lot.

Without this section, the website is very user hostile.

@ValdisThomann or @Wilba6582 can you take a look?
