Updating our lightbox to improve image viewing

We’re in the planning stages of updating our lightbox functionality to improve the experience of viewing images and related files on Discourse. Goals for this project include a smooth experience across Discourse on different device and browser types and support for common image features like captioning, downloading, zooming, and carousel / gallery displays.

What happened to the one you guys were working on before? I quite liked that one, it’s a shame it got scrapped.
