A WordPress plugin that uses the modern and accessible dialog HTML element to display images and videos.
 
== Description ==

The dialog element was introduced in 2014 and has had full cross-browser support since 2022. While there are many plugins that offer similar functionality, none (to my knowledge at the time of writing) utilize the dialog element. This is likely due to concerns about backward compatibility, which could pose issues for the end users of those plugins.

But why use dialog, you ask?

    - It's automatically centered.
    - It appears on top of everything else using the 'top-layer', not just z-index.
    - It auto-focuses, providing better accessibility for users.
    - It comes with an out-of-the-box Esc key function to close the modal.
    - We've enhanced the dialog with additional accessibility features, including ARIA labels and best practices.

Additionally:

    - We're using the picture element with various WordPress image sizes, allowing the browser to choose the most appropriate one to download.
    - All front-end JavaScript is strongly typed with TypeScript.
    - It supports YouTube videos.
    - Captions are supported as well.
    - You can add your own custom CSS.
    - It has its own database tables, so it doesn't add extra load to the already heavily used post and meta tables. This also ensures that you can delete it without leaving any residue.
