I’m sharing the product of five hours of work with Claude Cowork spread over a day. I have been using Cowork now for ten days and this is my biggest project to date. I’m an historian, not a coder. Cowork has been a revelation.
The product is a static five annotation layer IIIF viewer for Ottoman Turkish, which I am hosting in a IIIF-demo repository on the ai and history collaboratory GitHub organisation. The image the viewer displays is from the first issue of the Ottoman government gazette Takvîm-i Vekâyi, published in 1831.
