## Description

CloudFold Lite helps WordPress site owners and editors create image galleries, organize
the Media Library, and publish polished frontend gallery experiences without adding
a heavy frontend dependency.

CloudFold is a TopHive product. CloudFold Lite is the official WordPress.org edition
maintained by TopHive from the official CloudFold domain at https://cloudfold.io/.

The plugin focuses on practical media workflows:

 * Create galleries from the WordPress admin.
 * Publish galleries with the `[cloudfold_gallery id="123"]` shortcode.
 * Insert galleries with Gutenberg blocks.
 * Organize media into folders for faster editing workflows.
 * Choose gallery layouts such as Masonry, Grid, and Justified.
 * Use the built-in zero-dependency lightbox for responsive image viewing.
 * Edit image metadata such as alt text, captions, descriptions, link targets, tags,
   and focal point.

#### Gallery Layouts

CloudFold Lite includes flexible layouts for common publishing needs:

 * Masonry for mixed image heights.
 * Grid for predictable equal tiles.
 * Justified for balanced rows.

#### Media Organization

CloudFold Lite adds a folder-based media workflow to help editors group uploads,
filter assets, and find images faster.

#### Gutenberg Blocks

Use CloudFold blocks inside the WordPress block editor to insert galleries and related
media components with a native editing experience.

#### Lightbox

The frontend lightbox is built without jQuery and supports responsive image viewing,
captions, keyboard navigation, and gallery controls.

#### Privacy

CloudFold Lite does not send site content, media metadata, visitor information, 
or usage data to a CloudFold-owned server.

The plugin uses standard WordPress admin requests and REST API routes on the same
site to save galleries, folders, settings, and media metadata. No third-party service
is required for the Lite features described here.

#### Source Code and Build Tools

The human-readable source for CloudFold Lite assets and build tooling is maintained
publicly at https://cloudfold.io/source/.

The source location includes:

 * Admin React source for `admin/dist/`
 * Public gallery JavaScript source for `public/js/`
 * Public CSS source for `public/css/`
 * Build scripts
 * Build configuration and package metadata

To regenerate the WordPress.org Lite package from source, install dependencies with`
npm install`, then run `npm run build:wporg-lite`. The build command creates `release/
cloudfold-lite.zip`.

The compiled admin assets are generated with React 18.2.0, React DOM 18.2.0, Lucide
React 1.8.0, Radix UI React primitives 1.x/2.x, clsx 2.1.1, class-variance-authority
0.7.1, tailwind-merge 3.5.0, and Terser 5.46.2. Build tooling uses Vite 5.4.21, 
@vitejs/plugin-react 4.7.0, Tailwind CSS 3.4.17, PostCSS 8.4.49, Autoprefixer 10.4.20,
esbuild 0.25.9, shx 0.3.4, and bestzip 2.2.0.

Third-party package source, version, and license metadata are provided by `package.
json` and `package-lock.json` at the public source location. These packages are 
distributed under permissive open-source licenses such as MIT, ISC, BSD, or Apache-
2.0 as declared by their upstream package metadata.

### Usage

Use this shortcode in posts, pages, widgets, or supported builders:

#### Gutenberg Block

Open the block editor, insert a CloudFold gallery block, then select an existing
gallery.
