An open-source cloud service for viewing arbitrarily high-resolution zoomable
images.

Inspired by, and has taken over, the similar former Microsoft service
**[zoom.it]**.
This is a full, from-scratch rewrite, brought to you by the same developers who
built the original **[zoom.it]**.

## Usage

This service is running live at **[zoom.it]**.
We aren’t accepting any new content for now, but all old **[zoom.it]** content
should continue to work.

This service also includes a REST API, available at **[api.zoom.it][api.zoom.it]**
(e.g. [`/v1/content/4rcn`](http://api.zoom.it/v1/content/4rcn)).
For details and API documentation, see **[API.md](./API.md)**.

You can also run this code and host the service on your own.
The codebase is still a work-in-progress, but we can try to help if you need.

If you wish to run this on your own, or to contribute to our development,
please see **[CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md)** for instructions.

## Issues

Feel free to file bugs, request features, and ask questions on
[GitHub Issues](https://github.com/zoomhub/zoomhub/issues).
That’s also where we’re tracking TODOs and remaining work.

## Credits

Special thanks to:

- **Bill Crow** (RIP) and **David Vos** for keeping [zoom.it] alive at Microsoft
through the years, and helping us transition it when its time came.
They moved mountains to get us both the data and the domain.

- **[OpenSeadragon](http://openseadragon.github.io/)** for providing the
zooming viewer.

- **[VIPS](http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/index.php?title=VIPS)** for
providing blazing-fast DZI generation.

- All of our
**[contributors](https://github.com/zoomhub/zoomhub/graphs/contributors)** for
their time and energy.
This project is entirely a labor of love, and all of us have our own day jobs.
Maintaining any open-source project is work, but running a live, production
service on top of that is something even more.
