havLightbox Version 0.3 Released

September 23, 2025

I've just released version 0.3 of havLightbox on GitHub, my Vanilla JavaScript plugin for displaying images in an overlay lightbox. This update is a complete rewrite of the plugin.

This new version includes:

• Modern Dialog API: Uses native HTML <dialog> element for better accessibility
• Responsive Design: Automatically adapts to different screen sizes and orientations
• Touch Support: Swipe gestures for navigation on mobile devices
• Keyboard Navigation: Arrow keys for previous / next navigation
• Image Counter: Shows current position in gallery (e.g., "1 / 3")
• Optional Captions: Display custom captions for each image
• Smooth Animations: CSS-based animations for opening / closing
• Theme Support: Automatic light / dark theme detection
• Zero Dependencies: Pure vanilla JavaScript, no external libraries required

You can see the plugin in action on the projects page.
