The motile tracker started as a napari plugin. However, as we developed more advanced features, we found ourselves wanting to adapt the core code of napari, remove features that were not compatible with our applicaton, change layer controls, etc. finn started as a fork of napari, then a complete copy, and now it is an independent repo optimized for displaying cell tracking data.
Many thanks to the napari community for providing an excellent starting point and tons of great feedback and assistance!
