There has been a viewer there for a while, which is also the viewer linked from the EDRDG dictionary. See

https://www.edrdg.org/cgi-bin/wwwjdic/wwwjdic?1MKU8cc0

and click "KanjiVG Stroke Diagram".

The listing page was also restored a few days ago:

http://kanjivg.tagaini.net/listing.html

You can click on any character and you should get a page which shows the character

http://kanjivg.tagaini.net/viewer.html?kanji=%E8%B3%80

and also can display its groups by clicking the "Show the component groups", and the variant forms if they exist, such as

http://kanjivg.tagaini.net/viewer.html?file=08cc0-Kaisho.svg

and also gives a link to github.com

https://github.com/KanjiVG/kanjivg/blob/master/kanji/08cc0.s...

where the image is also displayed. There is also a new animation feature which was added a couple of weeks ago, and a "Random" button where you can get a random kanji.

There's also a link to Wiktionary on each viewer page

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%B3%80

which was added mostly as a quick way to view the IDS information for the character.

To ameliorate this problem, I've moved the "Viewer" link to immediately underneath the "Home" on the left side menu on the latest version of the website.
