@hadro.bsky.social built this tool that quickly "flips" through the contents of a work like a flipbook. Works w/ IIIF manifests, or plain item link from Internet Archive, Library of Congress, The Getty, & other sites. (FWIW, Josh churns out great things from his experiments. You should follow him!)

Flipbook
Flip through centuries of digitized books by wiggling your mouse. Paste any IIIF manifest. Make GIFs.
