## What it is
ResponsiveSlides.js is a tiny (1kb minified and gzipped) jQuery plugin that creates responsive image sliders/slideshows from unordered list markup. It supports automatic fading, manual navigation with pagination and next/prev controls, and works in browsers as old as IE6.

## Use cases
- create a responsive image slideshow on a website
- add a lightweight fade slider to a jQuery site
- build a carousel with pagination and prev/next controls
- display rotating banner images that work on mobile
- support old browsers like IE6 with a simple slider

## When to choose
- you need an extremely small slider with minimal footprint
- your project already uses jQuery 1.6+
- you need legacy browser support including IE6
- you want simple automatic fade or manual navigation without heavy features

## When to avoid
- you use a modern framework like React or Vue instead of jQuery
- you need advanced features like touch swipe gestures or 3D transitions
- you need active development and recent updates
- you want a dependency-free vanilla JavaScript solution

## Facets

- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
