Swiper VS slick

SwiperJS?, they’ve got plenty of templates there.

You mention YAGNI, but I think the bigger blocker is "Don't reinvent the wheel" - which I think is the most misunderstood bit of programming advice out there. In my SvelteKit app, I am not using a "UI Framework" that provides components to me. I don't need to. Svelte is simple enough that I can build almost anything myself. I've looked at Skeleton's source code, and their components on average are not better than versions I have rolled myself. There are a few cases where it's better to use a framework. Sliders, for instance, have a lot of edge cases. So I use Swiper for carousels. But even then, I could build a working basic slider (that doesn't address the numerous edge cases) myself in an hour. The other case is Headless UI but even there, I disagree with how he implemented some things and it's possible to roll your own Svelte Headless UI just from Tailwind's source.

Swiper.js is a JS library for creating touch-based, mobile-friendly sliders and carousels for web apps. It provides many features and options for building highly customizable sliders.

I haven't used it myself, but I've seen other folks mention Swiper JS. This little snippet from their landing page makes it look pretty easy to use.

But thanks God, it is now absolutely effortless to create a carousel from many libraries such as Swiper, Slick, Owl Carousel,...

I've tried a few things, like installing vue slick carousel but I'm getting a type error that I can't seem to fix. I looked around and could only find basic carousels, without that perspective and layer-stacking kind of stuff with the center one being on top of the others. Slick slider's center mode (https://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/) is cool, not exactly what I want but the closest at least, but it requires jQuery, which I can't use on that project.

Years and years ago I used to use Malsup's jQuery Cycle plugin and then Cycle2 but these now seem long abandoned. I've also used both flexslider and slickslider but I'm wondering if there are better, more modern alternatives I could now be using instead to quickly create sliders or carousels.

Slick will help you realize the carousel effect. It has a full array of options, works with swipe gestures for mobile devices, and supports other cool features. You can even sync the two carousels if you want to create an overlay effect.

Check out Slick Slider https://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/ Used it on my TMDb site, pretty easy to implement just had to mess with the width and margins a bit

Slick slider

These are from slick slider minus the code examples: https://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/

You should use tiny carousel it's the successor of popular OwlCarousel2 There's also slick carousel which seems pretty similar with OwlCarousel2
