JanHuebbers/md-sim-post-processing

The project is a nascent collection of utility scripts (0 stars, 0 forks, 0 days old) likely intended for personal or lab-specific use in the field of computational chemistry/physics. It occupies a crowded niche of 'post-processing glue code' where established, feature-rich libraries like MDAnalysis and MDTraj already dominate with thousands of stars and deep community support. The defensibility is near zero as it lacks a unique algorithmic approach or a significant user base. Frontier labs like OpenAI or Google DeepMind are unlikely to compete directly with simulation post-processing scripts, as they focus on high-level structural prediction (e.g., AlphaFold). However, the project is highly susceptible to displacement by more mature academic toolsets or even LLM-generated scripts, which can now perform these types of data manipulation tasks on demand. Platform risk is low because this is a niche scientific tool, not a horizontal service.
