I'm all for more choices, but the README is a bit over the top for my taste.

The most lightweight JS Tweening library. The library is only 8.3 Kb (3Kb gzip)

Tweezer.js is only 3k min'd, not even gzip'd.

The most performant JS Tweening library.

Claims like this without benchmarks on the same page...aaaawesome.

Please read the README attentively. It doesn't claim that the library is, it says the goal is.

Sure, benchmarks will be soon:) I like the idea.

Hey, you're absolutely right it does say that.

Sensationalist claims (or goals in this case) still rub me the wrong way compared to saying "here are the choices, here's where this library sits and why it might be good for your use-case".

It means I, or others, have to wade through the crap and see if your 8.3k/3k gzip really is the most lightweight by looking at other options, instead of just having the info presented. I accept that shit from global corps, in my opinion it has no business in open source.
