WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
This is not just a random change that could break someone's workflow, it rather feels like an absolute desaster in the light of millions of python users and developers worldwide who rely on those precompiled python wheels. Just a few numbers to illustrate the potential catastrophe that is on the horizon when Christoph shuts down his service: - a simple backlink check reveals ~83k referal links from ~5k unique domains, out of which many prominent and official websites appear in the top 100, such as cython.org, scipy.org, or famous package providers like Shapely, GeoPandas, Cartopy, Fiona, or GDAL (by O'Reilly). - Another perspective provides the high number of related search results, votes, and views on StackOverflow, which clearly indicates the vast amount of installation issues haunting the python community and how often Christoph's unofficial website is the key to solve them.
Related to the previous point there is a free alternative to conda mamba that uses the community conda-forge channel as default.
