Provide anndata files out of the box #142

From the info page,

You can use the zellkonverter Bioconductor package to convert any of them into Python AnnData objects. If you browse our code, you can find examples of such conversions.

Considering that this is most likely a common operation, would it be possible for you to provide the converted h5ad files directly?

Providing 2 versions of the files means more maintenance work in the future to make sure they are in sync. It's fairly easy to convert the SpatialExperiment objects thanks to zellkonverter, so I don't see a point to change this.

If you want, you can also use Globus to access the h5ad files Nick created along the way. But that's more for advanced users and in that case, we don't create an expectation that those files are always updated.
