Option to download only what you need? #93

I'm looking for a good justified image gallery. I really like the one this library offers -- it's powerful and does things well. At the same time, I noticed that the minified dist js file is 242kb. Other justified image gallery libraries I'm looking at weigh in < 20kb, even as low as 2kb.

It'd be cool to have a "choose only what you want" download option, like what jQuery UI has: http://jqueryui.com/download/

I've thought of stripping out everything but the pieces I need from the core JS of this project to make it lighter for my project, but am hesitant to do that because it could be error-prone/difficult to keep in sync with repo changes over time.

HI, those features would be nice to make but meanwhile it comes all in one package mostly for me, it's easier for me to work on it like this :) btw, if you are using lightbox , the difference won't be big, because there will be involved almost all the files, execept grid and carousel related. if you don't using lightbox, it would be smaller, maybe 100kb. but if you don't using lightbox, you can use any other justified gallery in the net, they are all smaller.

Thanks. I am using lightbox already, so I wouldn't need to have that part included just for the image gallery.

As for using other galleries, I found your justified image gallery to be superior in a few ways to the other image galleries I've looked at -- others often have the last row of the gallery with only one item, which looks ragged, whereas yours seems to always have the last row filled completely. Additionally, others crop images at some points, whereas I haven't seen your gallery crop images at all.
