How to build a clean, responsive keyboard-accessible lightbox with Tailwind CSS + Alpine.js

Most “simple” gallery tutorials give you one of two things:

a bloated JavaScript component that hijacks your CSS, or

a half-baked snippet that ignores accessibility entirely.

I got tired of both, so I wrote a practical walkthrough showing how to build a responsive gallery using Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js—with a real, keyboard-accessible lightbox, next/prev controls, and dot indicators. No dependencies. No black-box widget. Just clean markup and utilities you already use.
