Vaperina Lightbox 🎉

Hello everyone :waving_hand:
On Vaperina, users can upload images, we have replaced the previous lightbox solution, Magnific Popup, with a newer, more modern solution.

:bullseye: Why was the switch necessary?

  • Modernization: Magnific Popup was great, but since its release in 2014, web requirements and browser compatibility have evolved significantly.
  • Better performance: By abandoning outdated code, the goal is a faster, more reliable, more compatible, and aesthetically nicer lightbox experience.
  • Improving User Experience: A solution better suited to today’s expectations was needed.

Hi everyone :waving_hand:

New feature in the lightbox! :tada:

The new “Quote Image” button in the lightbox (marked by the icon) allows you to easily insert the image quote into the editor.

E.g.: If you want to ask about something in one of the images in a gallery. By quoting the image, you can easily highlight the specific image from the gallery you are interested in…
