featherlight as lightbox gallery

[mathetos]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A lightbox gallery makes a lot of sense. Similarly to #89 but I prefer the style of featherlight to lightGallery.

Describe the solution you'd like
Here's the code I use in my header.html:

<link href="//cdn.rawgit.com/noelboss/featherlight/1.7.13/release/featherlight.min.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="//cdn.rawgit.com/noelboss/featherlight/1.7.13/release/featherlight.gallery.min.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script src="//cdn.rawgit.com/noelboss/featherlight/1.7.13/release/featherlight.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script src="//cdn.rawgit.com/noelboss/featherlight/1.7.13/release/featherlight.gallery.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>


<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
        $('td.indexcolname a[href$=".png"]').featherlightGallery({
            previousIcon: '&#9664;',     /* Code that is used as previous icon */
            nextIcon: '&#9654;',         /* Code that is used as next icon */
            galleryFadeIn: 100,          /* fadeIn speed when slide is loaded */
            galleryFadeOut: 300          /* fadeOut speed before slide is loaded */
        });
    });
</script>
<div class="wrapper">
    <ol class="breadcrumb" id="breadcrumbs">
    </ol>
<!-- we open the `wrapper` element here, but close it in the `footer.html` file -->

Describe alternatives you've considered
#89 works fine, but I like this better.

Additional context
I agree with many other users that this project should have a way to submit modules/plugins whatever you want to call it to extend it in simple ways like this.

Thanks!

Thanks for this contribution @mathetos. Can you please create a pull request with your changes so that we have a working prototype to test?

See branch feature/featherlight in this repo.

Now that there is a branch to explore featherlight, let's close this issue.

featherlight will not be merged to apaxy as we prefer to use lightgallery.js.

lightgallery.js is indeed more powerful (plugins, download link, ...) and does not require jQuery.
