I wasn’t sure about this, but finally migrated my data to @eurosky.social 🥳

Flying over frozen Greenland was something!

Last update for a week (as I'm heading to Canada). Added tooltips for each tool so you can get a better grasp of how to use it. And an additional demonstration of the new measurement tool – you can manually calibrate it so you can get real dimensions. #IIIF #DigitalHumanities #Manu

Have you ever wondered how big the initial is in a digital manuscript? Say no more! #DigitalHumanities #IIIF #Manu

A screenshot of a digital interface measuring a historical manuscript. In the top left corner is the word 'MANU' in bold black text. On the left is a vertical software toolbar with the ruler tool selected. The background shows an aged parchment document with black gothic calligraphy. In the center is a large, decorative red initial letter, which is being measured by a white digital line indicating a height of '16.6 mm'.

While I’m building my home in Warcraft, behind me @vanlinduist.bsky.social conquered the whole world. 😬

It is slowly coming together! "Beta" hopefully next week. 😊 #IIIF #DigitalHumanities

Great talk by @vanlinduist.bsky.social on data visualisation in DH in Prague!

Iceland today. Yeah, I don’t know, maybe it’s really not a good time to do gardening. You might lose some dwarves out there.

Quite confusing that verification of the domain on @leaflet.pub takes more than a day. 😩 Or have I done something wrong? 🧐

Many DH scholars (and others) around me are praising LLMs for democratisation of coding and easy use. I totally get that, it's fascinating. What I miss in the discussion are the ethical issues and long-term maintainability (which was a problem before LLMs too).

I had this though since we had the Ruse of Reuse workshop in Vienna. Can I use current VLMs to provide me with transcription of text in MANU and add it as a transcription block? Seems I can. This one is done with Gemini 3 Flash, quite impressive. #IIIF #DigitalHumanities

Another update on Manu! Licences are now displayed throughout the app ensuring proper credit for the institution owning the images. Additionally, support for IIIF exports (with and without annotations) has been added. The design of settings page is still quite bare-bone. #IIIF #DigitalHumanities

A screenshot of a web application called "MANU". The dashboard displays a user's manuscript collection. There are tabs for "All", "Owned", "Shared with me", and "Public". Below, there are two sections: "Your manuscripts" with a button to "+ Add IIIF manifest" and several cards representing different manuscripts like "ARME DI CARDINALI...", "SOMNIALE DANIELIS...", and "ST AUGUSTINE, HOMILIES". A second section, "Shared with me", shows cards for "BIP - GROUP 2" and "SBÍRKA SPISŮ LÉKAŘSKÝCH...". A blue "+ Add IIIF Manifest" button is prominent in the top right.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an iOS RSS reader? I was using Lire, but the last few months it always crashes on start and it became slightly annoying.

Finally found some time to dust off my Behance page. A few recent pieces of what I do when I don't do programming - Bloom and Decay. Full project on Behance: www.behance.net/gallery/2462...

I’m slowly bringing my latest project out of private mode! The dashboard now offers two modes: cards and rows. The preview I showed a few months ago has been slightly updated and most importantly user and group permissions have been introduced. 😮‍💨 #IIIF #DigitalHumanities

A list view of the "MANU" dashboard, similar to the previous image but displaying the manuscripts in a tabular format instead of a grid. The sections remain the same ("Your manuscripts", "Shared with me", "Public manuscripts"). Each row in the table represents a manuscript and includes columns for "TITLE", "OWNER", and "ACTIONS". The "ACTIONS" column contains icons for viewing, editing, and sharing the manuscript. The titles and descriptions match those seen in the grid view.

While the automated alignment does most of the time a good job, it’s not perfect. So I thought, why not allow you to tweak the alignment'? P.S. No 3D goggles are required, though it can be fun.

A dark-themed screenshot of the TRANSLUCENS software interface used for analyzing historical documents. The central workspace displays a digital scan of a weathered manuscript page overlaid with a grid of control points for alignment. The left sidebar manages "Folios," showing thumbnails for recto and verso images. The right sidebar, labeled "Parameters," contains image processing controls, including an active "Illumination correction" toggle and "Ink Recovery" sliders for parchment smoothing, ink edge sensitivity, and brown ink detection.

Working on a little something to fix ink bleed-through in digitized manuscripts. The site is up, and we're gearing up to officially launch the tool on April 30. If you’re a researcher/archivist with some tricky folios, i’d love to test them out. translucens.humanities.tools
