What problem does this address?

Currently, if I have several full sized images within a post set to open in a lightbox, it's very tedious to view the next image. Each image in a post must be clicked or tapped, then closed in order for viewer to get to the next one. It's not a fluid experience for the viewer.

If I have multiple images in a post set to open in the lightbox, a viewer should be able to tap on one to open the lightbox, and then be able to fuildly navigate to each image within the lightbox, like a carousel.

What is your proposed solution?

  • Desktop: User should be able to use left or right arrow keys to navigate through all the images in the same lightbox
  • Mobile: User should be able to swipe left or right to easily browse all images in the lightbox

Example: In my post I have many images set to open in the lightbox. If I tap on the first image, the lightbox opens, but to view the others I have to close it and tap the other images to re-open the lightbox.
