Making jQuery-based galleries with WordPress without a plugin?

You won’t be able to do it purely with Javascript (with or without jQuery) as the images are hosted server-side, and there’d be no way for a Javascript function to scan to see what’s available.

What you could do is write a function to do it in functions.php and tie it to a shortcode, but then you’re starting to get into the territory of where a plugin would be easier.
