lory is a touch-enabled, minimalistic slider/carousel library written in vanilla JavaScript (ES2015). It provides hardware-accelerated transitions, infinite looping, and can also be used as a jQuery plugin.

Use cases

• add a touch swipeable image carousel to a website
• build a minimal slider without jQuery dependencies
• create an infinite looping carousel with prev/next controls
• add a lightweight content slider to a static site
• implement a hardware-accelerated slideshow in vanilla JS

When to choose

• you need a small, dependency-free slider in vanilla JavaScript
• you want touch support and hardware-accelerated transitions with minimal setup
• you need a jQuery-plugin-compatible carousel
• you want simple declarative HTML markup for slides

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured carousel with lazy loading, autoplay, and rich accessibility out of the box
• your project uses a modern framework like React or Vue where component-based sliders fit better
• you need actively maintained software with recent updates and security patches
• you require IE or legacy browser fallbacks
