## What it is
A standalone vanilla JavaScript library that lets users view images full screen with mouse/touch-position panning. It handles creation, styling, and management of the image viewer and captions with no dependencies.

- you need touch/mouse panning of large images
- you want minimal setup with plain HTML attributes

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library with a license file
