## What it is
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
