document client feature support
As the spec evolves, it's increasing likely that there will be parts of it that are not supported by all the clients, either because of technical limitations or the work just hasn't been done/released.
It would be really nice for new and existing users to be able to see what is supported by which clients, or what's NOT supported (without having to search the issues of each repo). This would also be a nice way to show what clients are available to view OME-NGFF data.
I'm thinking of something like a support table, similar to e.g. https://caniuse.com/flexbox (although in that case it's a table for a single feature, with different versions of each tool). I'd suggest we limit it to documenting only the latest release of each tool.
viewer | Z-downsampling | omero info | multiscales factor not=2 | URL (not s3) | v0.3 axes | 3D view | labels | HCS plate |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
napari | y | y | y | y | y | y (1) | y | y |
vizarr | n | y | n | y | y | n | n | y |
MoBIE | y | n | y | n | n | y | y | n |
- napari 3D view only supported for lowest level of multiscales pyramid
If this looks like a popular idea, where would this doc/table live? Include it in the spec page, or a doc page on this repo?

This would be great to have!
Agreed, great idea! This table is already useful to point to (and have the information collected). I especially like how the links in the table above provide a nice preview prior discussion.
I guess the question is whether it should live under a separate domain/site (e.g. https://ome.github.io/caniuse
). However, my vote would be to keep this information in markdown on a table on GitHub. Easy to update, includes rich integration with GitHub issues/PRs, and the features listed currently are fairly technical.
https://github.com/ome/ngff/blob/main/caniuse.md would be one option. Another might be https://nicolas-van.github.io/easy-markdown-to-github-pages/
:+1: for getting something in place ASAP.
