Is the viewer open source? I saw links to give credit to various open source libraries/utils but I didn't see a link to the actual system.

It works really well. I'd love to use this for one of my projects.

It's OpenSeaDragon plus addons.

looks to be using open sea dragon [1] This is just a tiled map so any web mapping software would also work OpenLayers, Leaflet, Maplibre etc.

Indeed! The pinch-zooming on mobile is so smooth I for a second thought there were no library involved at all.

Interesting, I've used leaflet a lot in the past (love it!) for GIS but never thought about tiling a more generic image to it. Good call.
