## What it is
A dependency-free TypeScript image zooming plugin for the web, ported from fat/zoom.js (the effect seen on older Medium). Clicking an image zooms it; dismissal works via click, overlay, scroll, or Esc.

## Use cases
- add medium-style image zoom to a blog
- zoom images on click without jquery
- lightweight image lightbox for static site
- typescript image zoom library with typings
- replace fat/zoom.js without bootstrap dependency

## When to choose
- you want a small, zero-dependency image zoom in a modern ES-module TypeScript bundle
- you liked the Medium-style zoom interaction
- you need typed API and npm distribution

## When to avoid
- you need a full lightbox with galleries, captions, or swipe gestures
- you need CommonJS/main entry support without a module-aware bundler
- you need strict API stability across minor versions

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: image-zoom, typescript, no-dependencies, medium-style, es-modules, web-server
