The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About inti
inti keeps compounding small statistics and publishing tools for plant-science labs.
inti bundles the tooling a plant-science lab uses end to end: the Yupana analysis app, the Tarpuy experiment planner, scihub and rticle document rendering, and helpers for ANOVA and heritability. The 0.7.x line has been dominated by one thread, a PCA sub-module in Yupana carrying variable contribution, dimension correlation, supplementary variables and per-dimension selection. Releases are cumulative: 0.7.0, 0.7.1 and 0.7.2 all restate the same PCA lines, with each tag adding a few items on top, and 0.7.0 itself is split across two tags published 35 seconds apart.
