About HeroTransitions

From the project's README at github.com/HeroTransitions/Hero. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.

Hero is a library for building iOS view controller transitions. It provides a declarative layer on top of the UIKit's cumbersome transition APIs, making custom transitions an easy task for developers.
