Siema is a lightweight (only 2kb gzipped) carousel plugin with no dependencies and no styling. As Brad Frost once said "do that shit yourself". It is 100% open source and available on Github. It is free to use on personal and commercial projects. Use it with your favourite module bundler or by manually injecting the script into your project.
Setup is trivially easy. A little bit of markup...
<div class="siema">
<div>Hi, I'm slide 1</div>
<div>Hi, I'm slide 2</div>
<div>Hi, I'm slide 3</div>
<div>Hi, I'm slide 4</div>
</div>
If you are using a module bundler like Webpack or Browserify...
yarn add siema
import Siema from 'siema';
new Siema();
...or manually inject the minified script into your website.
<script src="siema.min.js"></script>
<script>
new Siema();
</script>
