Show Media Library videos as a gallery grid; click a thumbnail to open a fullscreen vertical swipe player.

== Description ==

VertiFeed adds two Gutenberg blocks for creating vertical swipe video galleries on your WordPress site.

**VertiFeed Gallery** — A container block that displays videos as a responsive gallery grid of poster thumbnails. Clicking a thumbnail opens a fullscreen overlay with a vertical swipe video player.

**VertiFeed Video** — A child block for adding individual videos from the Media Library.

= Features =

* Responsive gallery grid of poster thumbnails (no autoplay on the page)
* Fullscreen overlay player opens on click, starting at the chosen video
* Vertical swipe, scroll, and keyboard navigation; close with Esc or the X button
* Self-hosted videos from the WordPress Media Library
* Muted autoplay inside the overlay with tap-to-play/pause
* Optional captions overlay per video
* Configurable columns, gap, aspect ratio, loop, progress bar, and mute toggle
* Built with the WordPress Interactivity API and block.json
