Why?

I did not found any vue component that uses thumbnail (smaller version of images) and is mobile-friendly (swipe)

• This one is documented (and issued) in chinese only and has no thumbnails. Edit: I translated the readme (with google translate) and submitted a PR that was accepted, so now, the documentation is in english)
• This one is documented (and issued) in chinese too and has no thumbnails either.
• This one has no documentation.
• This one is a kind of fork of the previous one
• …

So I created mine.
