Hero Carousel

A simple hero carousel I made for myself to re-use parts of and customise for client sites. Has keyboard navigation support and basic swipe handling. Pretty customisable through the HTML markup and CSS. My base setup is noted below.

Change things up however you like, suggestions/contributions welcome.
