NiiVue is web-based visualization tool for neuroimaging that can run on any device (phone, tablet, computer).
See the Documentation for usage. The easiest way to develop with NiiVue is to run a hot-loading page that is updated whenever you save changes to any source files:
git clone git@github.com:niivue/niivue.git
cd niivue
npm install
npm run dev
