Ideal Image Slider

Sure this is a great project, but I have somehow the feeling that image carousels / sliders went out of fashion somewhere 2013.

(And I don't think that is a bad thing.)

However, the lightbox still prevails.

Should I use a carousel?

It kept infuriatingly moving to the next item before I could finish reading. Proves the point, I suppose.

I don't think "being in fashion" is relevant.

If someone wants this particular functionality (fashionable or not), then it's good if they can get a good implementation.

This was my first reaction also. And there's a reason they went out of fashion, because they divide user's focus and bring no benefits apart from being pretty.

> bring no benefits apart from being pretty

Sometimes being pretty is exactly what you need.

When will video backgrounds go out of fashion for the same reasons?
