I have been using lightboxes for at least 10 years. They always come up in web projects, especially when it comes to showcasing an image or an entire gallery of images or videos. So what's a good and accessible (and open-source too!) image lightbox with no dependencies? I found Parvus to be quite promising! Check it out on GitHub!
