It seems like a lot of careful thought went into the overall design and specification of the tool. How much and what kind of software work was required to turn it into a reality? Do you have other plans for projects like this that are bottlenecked on software capacity?
Thank you for your kind words Ben. A substantial amount of in-house software work went into both tools. We used react and vite to create these, and python for the server running the maths behind the scenes. If the interest in this type of work and the value-added are high enough, we’d likely want to do more of it.
On your last point, we haven’t done open-source development from scratch for the projects we’ve done so far, but it might be a good strategy for future ones. That said, for transparency, we’ve made all our code accessible here.
As a software developer looking for projects:
It seems like a lot of careful thought went into the overall design and specification of the tool. How much and what kind of software work was required to turn it into a reality? Do you have other plans for projects like this that are bottlenecked on software capacity?
Have you considered open-sourcing the project?
