## What it is
Ideal Image Slider is a dependency-free image slider written in vanilla JavaScript with CSS3 transitions, touch/swipe support, HiDPI images, and ARIA accessibility. It follows a minimal core philosophy where extra features like bullet navigation and captions are added via extensions.

## Use cases
- add an image slider to a website without jQuery
- responsive image carousel with swipe support
- lightweight slider with no dependencies
- retina-ready image slideshow
- accessible slider with ARIA support
- SEO-friendly HTML5 image slider
- extendable slider with captions or bullet navigation

## When to choose
- you need a simple, bloat-free image slider in vanilla JS
- you want zero dependencies and easy setup
- you need touch/swipe and HiDPI support out of the box
- you prefer progressive enhancement and extensibility via extensions

## When to avoid
- you need video or audio slideshows in the core
- you want a feature-rich slider with thumbnails, fullscreen, and many transitions built in
- you need a framework-integrated component (React/Vue)
- you require actively developed features - the project has seen few recent releases
