About the Mochi template
13 slides of rounded photo columns on black: stacks of two or three and tall photos running across the swipe, then a closing slide. It is a photo dump style carousel with 13 slides by default and 27 photo spots. It works best for city and travel recaps, place guides, long photo dumps.
Photo dump carousels pack many photos in a grid that continues from slide to slide. They are the fastest way to show a whole trip or weekend.
