Site down?

It's a 100% static site, but Apache is still struggling :(. Should have used a bigger droplet...Sorry!

Should have used nginx, or at least put cloudflare in front of it

Sounds like marketing BS. what about OpenNLP and Stanford's for NLP?

That's a nice UX but the flurry of initial upvotes on this looks kinda fishy, especially given that it's just annotation software.

This is kinda why we need down-votes for stories, or HN needs better detection of these strategies.

spaCY, the leading open-source NLP tool?

Agreed, the description is definitely cringe-worthy.

As if whoever wrote that wasn't aware that these are language geeks they're marketing to.

So this isn't OSS? Seems atypical in the ML community.

For those looking for alternative OSS solutions: BRAT, labellmg are decent.

I don't think (some) people understand; a slick data annotation tool like this is vastly more useful than the 20th variant of GAN that DeepMind produces :)
