       | Hey- Jared here! I am one of the founders of Magniv. Let me know
       | if you have any questions. We are excited to get this in the
       | hands of beta testers in the community :)

         | The site says open-source but there's no link to code, only a
         | suggestion to sign up for early access?

           | Yes we are still _very_ early! The core framework will be
           | released to design partners first then to the community.

             | So it's not currently open-sourced?
             | 
             | How did this make it to the front-page - it's basically
             | nothing more than an advertisement at this stage? Am I
             | misinterpreting something?

               | We are looking for people to join the beta -- we are
               | basically offering them free engineering.
               | 
               | I guess there are enough people who find this relevant to
               | vote us onto the front page.
               | 
               | Would you be interested in the beta? :)

               | Touche!
               | 
               | Not at the moment but best of luck with the product.
               | 
               | Rereading my initial comment came off more hostile than I
               | wanted, so thanks for the level-headed response :)

         | It looks like Magniv is targeting Python in general. This is
         | similar to ClearML. What are the differentiating points to
         | Magniv compared to similar products?
         | 
         | It seems like the product also integrates with SCM systems. Are
         | you using gitea and then containers to push code and data to
         | execution like CodeOcean?
         | 
         | https://github.com/allegroai/clearml
         | 
         | https://codeocean.com/
        
           | jonpon wrote:
           | Yeah, so one of our differentiating points is that we can
           | integrate with whatever scheduler you are already using.
           | 
           | On top of that a lot of the libraries that exist are focused
           | on ML, focusing on resources/gpu etc. We are more focused on
           | the data science side of this problem.
           | 
           | Similar though.

       | Very hyped to see where this goes. Much needed for data science
       | teams.

       | Wonder if this would help...

         | Yes! Please sign up on our website, would love to chat further
         | and see if it can help. Our goal is to decrease reliance on
         | data engineers when building data teams

       | It reads open source core which means it's not fully open source.
       | So the product page isn't exactly clear to me what's being
       | offered. Although it is possible to have a sass with a fully open
       | source code base of course.

         | We will have an open-source core framework (the Python
         | decorator part). Kind of following the DBT model. Still very
         | early (in alpha) so will not open source until the beta
         | development begins.

       | The "our experienced ex-Facebook engineers" sounds like a bit
