O_O this is exactly what I wanted to make ... you were just a bit faster ... just 8 months :D

Honestly, this could be way better. Instead of requiring you to set the timing duration in CSS, you could set the timing duration on the elements itself. I just put it up to scratch a specific itch. Feel free to fork if you'd like ;)
