IIIF-compatible image viewing applications, list of...

[Tom Cramer]

I have taken a pass through all the sources I could find to try and make an encyclopedic list of all the IIIF-compatible image viewing applications. They are in a Google Doc, and also pasted below. Should the URLs or descriptions of any be updated? Are there any missing? 

https://docs.google.com/document/d/14UnAGxOgktfjLvLURX2hWZ0mpO0y1l6voHnz2ynvTeQ/edit?usp=sharing

Please add or edit applications descriptions as appropriate. Thanks,

Tom,
Thanks so much for starting this list. It is very much needed given the great activity around IIIF servers and clients.

If it were possible to have two extra bits of information for both lists, that would make it even easier for newcomers to evaluate their options:
- IIIF version support
- Development status

Thanks,
Stefano
