## What it is
SlidesJS is a responsive slideshow plugin for jQuery (1.7.1+) featuring touch swipe support and CSS3 transitions. It is explicitly obsolete and no longer maintained, with the site kept for archival purposes only.

## Use cases
- create a responsive image slideshow with jQuery
- add touch swipe support to a jQuery carousel
- build a fading or sliding image gallery
- run multiple slideshows on one page with callbacks
- add CSS3 animated transitions to a slideshow

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy jQuery codebase that already uses SlidesJS
- you need archival reference for an old project built with it

## When to avoid
- starting any new project
- you need maintained software or security updates
- your project does not use jQuery
- you need modern accessibility or framework integration

## Facets

- maturity: abandoned
- function: animation, ui-components, frontend-framework
