## What it is
Siema is a lightweight (3kb gzipped) carousel/slider library written in pure JavaScript with no dependencies and no built-in styling. It supports touch dragging, responsive per-page layouts, RTL, and loop options via a simple configuration object.

## Use cases
- add a lightweight carousel to a website without dependencies
- touch-swipeable image slider in vanilla JavaScript
- responsive multi-slide carousel with perPage breakpoints
- RTL carousel support
- minimal slider with custom styling

## When to choose
- you need a tiny, dependency-free carousel you can style yourself
- you want simple touch/drag swipe behavior in plain JS
- bundle size is a top priority

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with ongoing bug fixes
- the author himself recommends avoiding carousels as a UI pattern
- you need advanced features like autoplay, lazy loading, or accessibility support out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: library
