Another update on Manu! Licences are now displayed throughout the app ensuring proper credit for the institution owning the images. Additionally, support for IIIF exports (with and without annotations) has been added. The design of settings page is still quite bare-bone. #IIIF #DigitalHumanities

A screenshot of a web application called "MANU". The dashboard displays a user's manuscript collection. There are tabs for "All", "Owned", "Shared with me", and "Public". Below, there are two sections: "Your manuscripts" with a button to "+ Add IIIF manifest" and several cards representing different manuscripts like "ARME DI CARDINALI...", "SOMNIALE DANIELIS...", and "ST AUGUSTINE, HOMILIES". A second section, "Shared with me", shows cards for "BIP - GROUP 2" and "SBÍRKA SPISŮ LÉKAŘSKÝCH...". A blue "+ Add IIIF Manifest" button is prominent in the top right.A screenshot of the "MANU" application showing the "Export" settings for a specific manuscript titled "ARME DI CARDINALI, ARCIVESCOVI E VESCOVI FIORENTINI". A sidebar menu on the left highlights "Export". The main area provides options to download the "Original IIIF manifest", download a "IIIF manifest with annotations", and view/copy the "Source URL".A screenshot of the "MANU" application's document viewer. The central area displays a digitized page of a manuscript featuring an ornate coat of arms above a block of handwritten text. On the left is a toolbar with various annotation and viewing tools. On the right, a text editor panel is open with formatting options and a "Save" button, indicating the user can add or edit annotations for the manuscript page. The editor currently has the language set to English.

Working on a little something to fix ink bleed-through in digitized manuscripts. The site is up, and we're gearing up to officially launch the tool on April 30. If you’re a researcher/archivist with some tricky folios, i’d love to test them out. translucens.humanities.tools

After a great streak of vibe-coding for the IMAFO DigiLab Vibe Advent Calendar, I’m back to the classics! Currently refining the user dashboard for Manu, my IIIF manuscript viewer. It’s good to be back in the engine room. Still a lot of work, but that's the fun. 😊
