What HN said
What people liked
Clean, pretty design and animations
From 2 comments
Looks very pretty, as does the semantic markup. Personally I'd prefer it if there was a little less alpha, e.g. on the Malta pic the text isn't so clear...
dustyneuron on HNLooks really nice! The animations are slick and the implementation seems simple enough.

Just what I needed, thanks for creating and sharing it!
atteeela on HNI will definitely use this. Kudos for using Bower, first time I've seen it in the wild.
gwkoehler on HNYes, in addition to what javajosh found, your class names are rather generic and I imagine might lead to clashes. I'd personally recommend prefixing your class names with…

Objections
Not touch or mobile friendly
From 2 comments
Frankly, it isn't very mobile/touch friendly right now. That is one of the issues I'd like to address next. For now, I'd recommend not using the overlay or reveal/reveal-smooth…

Plugin is bloated compared to writing a few lines of CSS
From 1 comment
Why is this a plugin? I'm likely only going to be using one of these types of captions, which I can write in about 5 lines of stylus. The rest of the options that you added to…

Slide up/down animations
From 1 comment
It would be good for it to support animations (fade in/out, slide up/down etc...).

Touch support
From 2 comments
Looks simple and cool, thanks for sharing! How does this support touch devices? Do they have to tap on the picture to see the caption, or does it show up automatically? I could…
publicfig on HNQuite nice. You can think about touch interactions (maybe you have, but it was not working on iPhone)

Support for older browsers such as IE8
From 1 comment
It'd help to include at least basic support for some older browsers -- there are still a decent number of users on IE8, for example, but you seem to support only 9+.

Slideshow of multiple images with captions

Nice start! What would be really cool: slideshow of several images + captions.

Accessibility and contrast documentation
From 1 comment
I really wish the pages for projects like these would devote even a small section of their documentation to accessibility. I know it's not usually top of mind, and not everyone…

woah on HNthis is a plugin because: * what the hell is stylus? your favorite tool isn't necessarily ubiquitous. * it can serve as a learning tool for others. open source, remember?…
