Hi all,
I’d like to highlight a project that has been bubbling on the back-burner for a while. The OpenFlexure Viewer. It allows you to interact with huge stitched images:

The project was started by @dgrosen, to create a nice way to demonstrate the incredible stitched images he has been making on his OpenFlexure Microscopes. @JohemianKnapsody also put in a lot of work making this viewer functional. I have since done tiny a bit of tidying so it is easier for us to deploy.
Currently we don’t have the facility to add community scans to this specific viewer, nor to have a dedicated platform where people can share images.
If you want to share your images using the OpenFlexure Viewer you will need your own server. You need to make .json file describing the scans, and link to .dzi files and associated jpeg files on your server. We are hosting the viewer on our build server so to use it you just need to add the line:
<script src="https://build.openflexure.org/openflexure-viewer/v0.0.2/openflexure-viewer.min.js"></script>
To the head of any webpage and
<openflexure-viewer src="https://example.com/scans.json"></openflexure-viewer>
into the body of the page [with the src pointing to a real file].
All source code, and the information about the json files are on GitLab
