https://iiif.link Content State export

[atomotic]

quick experiment: https://iiif.link Open a manifest, select a canvas, zoom and pan to a desired detail, and click share. A unique URL will be generated that can be shared over the internet; upon opening the URL the viewer will open at the saved zoom and position.

example: https://iiif.link/id/1ij66rNas3E7Kh8lt1lXmsAcXQj

more formats:

• https://iiif.link/id/1ij66rNas3E7Kh8lt1lXmsAcXQj/json export a Content State (0.3.0)

• HEAD request returns metadata in http headers

  $ curl -I https://iiif.link/id/1ij66rNas3E7Kh8lt1lXmsAcXQj

the viewer frontend is very raw, metadata and label handling could be improved.

next step: i want to implement also Content State import, with GET parameter

👍 although is very prototypal and immature, and works only with manifest v2. I have plan to rewrite from scratch with SvelteKit, iiif-vault and annotorious (for state selection)
