in plain english

MBProgressHUD is a library for iOS apps that displays a loading indicator, the spinning or progress overlay that covers part of the screen while an app is doing something in the background, like fetching data or saving a file. "HUD" stands for heads-up display. Based on the description, this repository includes the core library plus additional customizations on top of the original. It is written in Objective-C, the older Apple programming language used to build iOS and macOS apps. The README does not provide further detail about its features, supported customizations, or use cases, so a complete explanation is not possible from the provided data alone.
