Looks and works great.
I was a bit surprised, though. I expected a range slider[0]. I usually see "blaze slider" widgets called "carousels"[1]. Is this a regional thing?

Yeah, the terminology is a bit loose here, A better name would be "carousel", but "slider" seems to be more popular term for "carousel" nowadays. See https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=slider

#13FYI: I ran into some caching issue on safari where the js chunck would not load. Forcing a refresh (even though I never been to this site before) worked. Speed is great, but how do the features compare to the other libraries mentioned?
It's got all the basic stuff you need that comes with other sliders,
* touch support, drag, swipe
* custom config for different media devices
* ability to customize a lot of stuff -> see https://blaze-slider.dev/docs/category/api
Now here's what it CAN't do:
* NO "fancy" effects like https://triple-slider.uiinitiative.com/
* NO "Full" RTL support as of V1.0 (it works, but just like LTR)
* NO "Virtual Slides"
I may end up adding this features in V2, but not at the cost of performance. If it slows down the library - I won't do it.

#14absolutely hate the fact that it snaps then you have to wait until you can slide.
Fixed in V1.0.2 ;)
