Looks really nice! Congrats on the launch. I like the idea that I can view the build logs. Sometimes, some information about the image is in the logs and you have to go back and check. Is there any plan supporting registries like ECR ?

Hello hunters! We’re excited to launch Crane 🦩 So, what is Crane? Crane is a minimalist container image builder. You can extend an existing container image with custom apt/conda/pip packages without writing any Dockerfile. How does Crane work? Crane generates Dockerfile that installs packages according to your settings, and builds the container image with your local docker engine. You can also push images to your Docker Hub registry. Why we built Crane? Container images are used in many different use cases such as ML. There are lots of ready-to-run container images with Jupyter and various libraries, however people still want to customize images, and this is mostly done through authoring Dockerfile with commands installing additional packages. Dockerfile is the canonical way for building container images. However, people still want a no-frills way to just simply adding packages to existing images. Crane provides an easier way to build container images without any knowledge of Dockerfile, so the process is more approachable. We've always had this feature in our open source ML platform PrimeHub to allow customizing container images for a shared and consistent environment. And it's now also available as a standalone desktop app - Crane. How can I get started with Crane? Get it through GitHub: https://github.com/InfuseAI/cran... Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/CrAxQznedH More products we made PrimeHub, a full-featured ML platform. https://www.producthunt.com/post... We’d like to hear your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions! Any comment is welcome!

Hi there, we're already released our new version v1.2.1, in this version we add the image inspector, it uses a simple and clear chart to let you know where is taking too much capacity in an image. See full release note on GitHub: https://github.com/InfuseAI/cran...
