GitHub IIIF

This is a WebApp that allows users to store IIIF images, manifests, collections and annotations on their own GitHub repository. Users login with their GitHub account and create a Jekyll Repository automatically configured to deploy to a GitHub pages site.

This can allow users to publish manifests and images which are accessible with the correct CORS headers and https support. The image support is provided by creating a level0 set of tiles that work with most modern IIIF viewers.

This project is heavily inspired by the excellent AudiAnnotate project which works in a similar way for hosting Audio annotations and Annonatate which allows you to create Annotations hosted on GitHub.
