Meow Lightbox


Your search is over, the work Jordy is doing to make GPT useful for websites will save you so much time. I'm only just getting into the more advanced stuff, but you can bet that it's possible with GPT, then it's being worked on with this plugin. Tons of functionality in the free version. Pro I'm certain he could charge 5 times as much for, so it's the least you can do to donate to the immense calories I'm sure it takes to keep his brain working at the pace AI is developing. The world is a significantly better place already from your work, keep it up, and let us know if there's anything else we can do to help!


This is the framework every website needs


I've been looking for an easy-to-use, lightweight plugin that would allow me to control the lightbox of certain areas of content.



With its easy-to-configure panel, the plugin does wonders and improves my site's UX.



Highly recommend!


A great, easy to setup plugin!

The elegant lightbox built for photographers. Fast, responsive, and displays your photos beautifully with EXIF data and maps. You'll love it! 💕
