This is a misleading title, it looks more like a “what’s new” changelog than... “Build easy animations with Julia”. It even talks about tutorials they will write, in the future.

It’s actual title “Javis v0.2 and the Future” seems to more accurately describe its contents.



Ok, we've changed the title from "Build easy animations with Julia". Thanks!

Thanks for the comment. I struggled with giving it a title that fits and still shows outsiders what the package does. Now nobody knows what Javis is and maybe thinks it manipulates the future On my blog I attracted more the people who are already familiar with Julia and Javis.


It looks like a good package, and wasn't trying to put it down in any way it's just this... isn't at all what I expected from the title, and IMO the content doesn't seem to be immediately enlightening for people who don't already what it is.

To be honest, the main github repository root, as it appears to me, does a better job of showing off the package and explaining what it is. "Javis: Julia Animations and Visualizations" with that link would be both clear and interesting (to me - opinions may vary!).

Whereas the blog post is exactly what I'd expect from it's actual title - "Javis 0.2 and the future" - discussing new changes and plans for future features.
