@brion I am 100% on board with this approach and the project currently has no other JS deps but I think there’s more to this that it initially seems, hence wanting a lib that has dealt with things like:
- works on mobile (scales images, touch/swipe support, doesn’t go crazy when the page is zoomed
- keyboard navigation support
- visible alt text (like Twitter)
- prevent page behind from scrolling while visible
- dismiss when image is clicked or Esc pressed
- video support
- screen reader support
