Small update to #tinyIIIF, my no-nonsense #IIIF server! You can now choose your image server during setup: • IIPImage • Cantaloupe Running small- to mid-sized collections? Teaching with IIIF materials? Building IIIF-enabled tools? Check out tiny.iiif! github.com/rsimon/tiny-... #DigitalFriday

I can finally share the happy news 🚀 liiive.now — my tool for real-time collaborative annotation of #IIIF images — is going open source! First code is available here: github.com/rsimon/liiive Self-hosted setup coming by end of February. #OpenSource #DigitalHumanities

tiny.iiif – my tiny (and so creatively named!) IIIF server now has a proper README to get you up and running instantly. github.com/rsimon/tiny-... Still a bit hacky & incomplete, but the basics work. I’ll be improving it over the next few weeks. Contributions welcome, feedback highly appreciated!

Great progress in our DH-RAG prototype #MachinaEmblematica <3 It works already quite well to explore the Latin texts and images. Coming up next: analysis and evaluation of the retrieved contents and generated text to see how well the model actually performs! Test it out at machina.ait.ac.at/chat/

@rockettara.bsky.social and I've been teaching the #MachinaEmblematica some new tricks: better image interpretation and conversational context, smarter source retrieval from the Symbola et Emblemata. It’s a bit slower now… we’ll work on that next. 😉 Try it here: machina.rainersimon.io
