## What it is
Fotorama is a responsive jQuery image gallery plugin offering a simple, powerful way to display photo galleries on websites. It supports thumbnails, fullscreen mode, video, autoplay, swipe gestures, and extensive customization via options and an API.

## Use cases
- add a responsive image gallery to a website
- display photo thumbnails with fullscreen lightbox
- create a swipeable image carousel on mobile
- embed video alongside photos in a gallery
- build an autoplaying slideshow with keyboard navigation

## When to choose
- your site already uses jQuery and you need a quick drop-in gallery
- you want a lightweight (~19 KB) gallery with CDN hosting
- you need touch/swipe support and fullscreen out of the box

## When to avoid
- you use a modern framework like React or Vue without jQuery
- you need actively developed software with recent commits
- you require a license with clear terms (license is non-standard)

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, image-processing
- domain: web-development, frontend, media
- platform: browser
- tags: jquery-plugin, image-gallery, responsive, lightbox, carousel, slideshow, nodejs
