+About UltraPlot
+=================
+
+History
+-------
+
+UltraPlot began in 2025 as a fork of `ProPlot <https://github.com/proplot-dev/proplot>`__,
+an excellent plotting package created by Luke Davis. Building upon ProPlot's solid foundation,
+UltraPlot was developed to extend its capabilities with new features focused on advanced
+statistical visualization, enhanced interactive elements, and improved integration with
+modern data science workflows.
+
+ProPlot Legacy
+-------------
+
+UltraPlot stands on the shoulders of ProPlot, which was developed by Luke Davis starting in 2021.
+As a PhD candidate at Colorado State University's Department of Atmospheric Science, Luke
+created ProPlot to address the challenges of repetitive and cumbersome plotting code in
+scientific research. ProPlot itself evolved from Luke's earlier MATLAB plotting utilities.
+
+Riley Brady, an early ProPlot user, made significant contributions to the original project,
+helping with automatic testing, PyPi deployment, and improving the new user experience.
+
+The UltraPlot team is grateful to all ProPlot contributors who laid the groundwork for
+this next generation of scientific visualization tools.

-----
-
-`Luke Davis`_ is the project creator and primary contributor as of 2021.
-He is a PhD candidate at Colorado State University's
-`Department of Atmospheric Science <https://www.atmos.colostate.edu>`__
-who has always been frustrated by repetitive and cumbersome
-plotting code. As an undergraduate, he developed a set of
-`MATLAB plotting utilities <https://github.com/lukelbd/matfuncs>`__ for personal use.
-When he switched to python in graduate school, he replicated most of these utilities in
-python, learned more about the language, began to rapidly develop them, and decided to
-share them with the rest of the scientific community. Luke is also working on a project
-called `climopy <https://github.com/climopy-dev/climopy>`__, a companion to
-`metpy <https://github.com/Unidata/MetPy>`__ for carrying out data analysis tasks
-related to climate science, and has authored a number of
-`vim plugins <https://github.com/lukelbd?tab=repositories>`__
-as an avid vim user.
-
-`Riley Brady`_ is the next-biggest contributor. He helped Luke set up automatic
-testing, deploy this project to PyPi, and improve new user experience. He is
-also UltraPlot's earliest user and helped fix `lots of early bugs
-<https://github.com/Ultraplot-dev/ultraplot/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed>`__.
