Figshare is terrible. Let's see whether we can switch to Huggingface

why do you think it's terrible?

why do you think it's terrible?

Sharing permissions. Basically, datasets uploaded by me cannot be modified by Anna and vice versa. The interface also isn't the prettiest. We just had a long discussion here at the scverse hackathon about this (not book, but scverse related) and discussed all options. Summary:

  1. Figshare terrible because of groups and permissions
  2. Zenodo terrible because of low download speeds
  3. Huggingface suffers a bit from complexity and the requirement for custom code & tooling
  4. Elixir is way too bureaucratic

@LuckyMD happy to hear opinions if you have any.
