Explosion is just me and Ines -- so yes, the pages are all made by Ines (with the great illustrations by Frederique Matti). Ines also wrote the bulk of the code for Prodigy itself.
Now coming back to the topic, I have so far just used Jupyter Notebooks and spreadsheets to do annotations and by golly, it is an extremely boring and tedious process. This looks like a fun tool to try out for my next NLP related project. Might spice things up!
But I hope that like all SpaCy related ideas, it doesn't assume too much about the problem at hand. I usually use NLTK instead of SpaCy because it allows me to be very flexible, except for the sentence tokenizer, where SpaCy's accuracy is hard to beat.
