Hi! I'm a developer on this project. Happy to answer questions for the next hour or so, and I'll check back tomorrow as well.
This is a first public release and the Harvard Library Innovation Lab is a small team, so please look at the site as just the beginning! In particular we're starting by targeting developers with an API and bulk data downloads. More user friendly features like a front-end browser, PDF scans, ngram browser, etc. are on the roadmap, but we're hoping other developers will step in and build some great tools as well.
