Suggestions for slideshow scripts?
Does anyone knows decent, light-weight slideshow scripts (Jquery based) that don’t rely on Jquery “animation effects” functions? Background: Jquery has now a “slim” package available that is ~20KB lighter; gzipped it is 6KB lighter. Not a huge difference, but anything that reduces the payload is a win. For the difference see this Stackoverflow. I didn’t find any documentation on the Jquery site itself, strangely.
For years I have used the excellent Malsup scripts:
Basic slideshow:
http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle2/tcycle/
advanced:
http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle2/
But both rely on the Jquery animation functions to work (else they throw an error).

Would responsive slides do it for you? 3.32 KB minified.

That one is nice, I’ve used it in the past as well. Unfortunately, it seems to have some issue with the slim version of Jquery 3.1.1.
TypeError: $tabs.bind is not a function. (In '$tabs.bind', '$tabs.bind' is undefined) [In jquery-3.1.1.slim.min.js:2:31859]
TypeError: $slide.stop is not a function. (In '$slide.stop(true, true)', '$slide.stop' is undefined) [In responsiveslides.js:235]That might be fixable, I‘m not sure how, though :-(

Hi.
Try Slick, I use it in my framework (in which I’m also using jQuery v3 Slim now) and it works as intended.
It also works on touch swipe unlike a lot of slideshows.

Slick looks interesting, and in a quick test works fine indeed. It would probably cover my needs on various sites. It is a bit more heavy though – 49KB gzipped.
