## What it is
Gallery.css is a pure-CSS image gallery/carousel component requiring no JavaScript, with optional autoplay animation and anchor-based controls. It is a small, lightweight stylesheet distributed via Bower or prebuilt dist files.

## Use cases
- build an image gallery without javascript
- css-only carousel slider
- autoplay slideshow with pure css
- lightweight gallery component for a static site
- learn advanced css animation and selector techniques

## When to choose
- you want a dependency-free, JS-free gallery for a simple site
- you need a tiny (~10kb) carousel with anchor-based controls
- you want to study advanced CSS transitions and selectors

## When to avoid
- you need touch/swipe gestures or dynamic content loading
- you need accessibility features or complex carousel behavior typical of JS sliders
- you need IE8 support without JS shims
- the project is largely unmaintained and Bower is deprecated
