The title should probably reflect that this is specifically for managing NLP labeling tasks. It looks like a great project! Years ago I bought a book on data prep and labeling for NLP, and based on that book this project looks like it covers the main workflows you would need.

Hey Mark, I totally agree. We're focusing on NLP, but we're generally interested in what programming will develop into.

To exaggerate a bit, but I like that idea: With "regular programming" (not the best term, but I mean rule-based systems etc.), you used to develop via punch cards. You had to think multiple times before "compiling" something, right? I believe that we're currently in that phase regarding supervised learning development. If you have a labeling project, you need to plan this long in advance, ...

We're in love with VS Code, but we're missing something like this for AI. Our application tries to show how developers can program their training data, i.e. refine raw data into training data, and do so with many programmatic approaches. We're trying to show how something like this could look like (hence the title), and do so in NLP.

But again - I agree with you :)
