## What it is
A React Native component library that displays images and other content in full-screen lightbox popovers with animated open/close transitions. It supports swipe-to-dismiss gestures, custom headers, and lifecycle callbacks.

## Use cases
- show images in a fullscreen lightbox on tap in a react native app
- add swipe-to-dismiss image viewer to my mobile app
- display a photo gallery with fullscreen popovers in react native
- open content in a modal lightbox with animation on ios and android
- customize the header and background of a fullscreen image overlay

## When to choose
- you are building a React Native app and need a lightweight lightbox for images or arbitrary content
- you want swipe gestures and spring animations out of the box
- you need custom headers or content rendering inside the lightbox

## When to avoid
- you need a actively maintained solution with recent React Native compatibility fixes
- you need advanced gallery features like zoom, paging, or video support
- you are not using React Native

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: mobile-development, frontend, media
- platform: cross-platform
