 * Hi,
 * When do you plan to remove jQuery as a dependency? It is now useless and slows
   down websites. I would like to create my own website without loading jQuery, 
   but your plugin requires it.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdelete-jquery-dependency%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * We plan to migrate and are slowly working on new, simpler blocks. However, many
   features depend on jQuery, with Fancybox being the most widely used.

 * Change fancybox… develop a custom fancybox… all developers need to abandon jQuery
   to a faster web…increase the priority please..

 * Feel free to submit a PR at [https://github.com/nk-crew/visual-portfolio/pulls](https://github.com/nk-crew/visual-portfolio/pulls).
   Please ensure you fix and test all features in both the free plugin and pro plugin
   to confirm they work correctly. All integrations, events, and methods must continue
   to function properly. If you create a custom Fancybox, remember that you’ll need
   to maintain it for free and test it thoroughly on all popular devices and screen
   sizes.
 * Keep in mind that Isotope, fj-gallery, and PhotoSwipe also depend on jQuery, 
   and our entire plugin script is built on jQuery.
 * Please let me know when your PR is ready for review.

 * I don’t know how to do it.
 * Last version of Isotope doesn’t require jQuery.
   Spotlight (better than Fancybox)
   doesn’t require jQuery.
 * Bye
