viewer — the slim viewer

The public, read-only WebGPU IDML viewer — renderer-core only, no editing. Both the community viewer and the docs live-preview component.

Tier: BeginnerBeginnerIexplanation

In short the viewer is the open, read-only counterpart to the editor — a WebGPU IDML viewer with renderer-core only (no mutation, canvas-editing, or scripting). It's the standalone community viewer and the live preview embedded in this documentation.

What it is

The viewer ships from the engine's core/web/idml-viewer, published as @paged-media/idml-viewer. This site's <live preview> consumes that published package directly — the same renderer the editor uses, minus everything to do with editing.

Status

The standalone viewer repo is a forward slot — currently unstarted; the viewer ships from core today. The plan is a thin standalone-app shell over the npm package.
