Hi folks, I have some exciting news to share. Julian has graciously offered and I have accepted to become the lead maintainer for Velocity. I'm really excited to be working closely with and learning from him in order to transition this project onto my plate. I remember when Julian started working on Velocity (locked away in his apartment — a few blocks away from me). Then later when he first announced it publicly. And finally when it exploded in growth from 0 to what it is today. I hope to bring that same enthusiasm, energy, and skill to it. I am honored to be taking it on. Looking forward to working on it along with the rest of the contributors.

Comparisons
- CSS transitions are meant for simple interface flourishes.
- jQuery's $.animate() is slow and poorly-equipped for motion design.
- Velocity is a fast, feature-rich standalone alternative to jQuery's $.animate().
