Post #634638

It is done! 🚀 Today I’m publishing the first full, formal open source release of liiive — my web-based, real-time collaborative annotation environment for #IIIF image collections. liiive enables users to view and annotate IIIF images together in real time — with shared cursors, synchronized drawing tools, and exportable, standards-compatible annotations. As of today, the repository contains everything you need to run your own fully self-hosted instance: https://github.com/rsimon/liiive A big thank you to the University of Graz Department of Digital Humanities and the DHInfra.at initiative — this release wouldn’t have been possible without their support. And now? it’s up to you! Clone the repo. Deploy your own instance. Start annotating. Most importantly: tell us how it goes. If something breaks, open an issue on GitHub. If something feels unclear, confusing, or slow — we want to know. Your feedback will shape where liiive goes next.
