Hello everyone
On Vaperina, users can upload images, we have replaced the previous lightbox solution, Magnific Popup, with a newer, more modern solution.
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Better performance: By abandoning outdated code, the goal is a faster, more reliable, more compatible, and aesthetically nicer lightbox experience.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.
